Some forms require clicking a series of routine "submit" buttons.  Some of the button-clicking has to do with accepting security certificates.  It's good that Firefox can remember the user IDs and passwords.  It'd be better if Firefox allows us to "record" the sequence of button clicking as a macro files, and allows us (end users, not Web masters) to replay those macro files with a single click of a button.

When the pointer or focus is on a link to a page that is already open in the browser, show the link visually as a line from the source to the target.  When a link to an anchor is followed, flash a circle around the anchor on the page.  This fixes two common problems: not knowing where the link is supposed to follow, if the page is too short to be scrolled, and not seeing the context before the link because if the page scrolls the anchor to the first line.
