- Make spellchecker standard-friendly
Firefox is known for its compliance to standards - then suddenly it introduces the "spellcheck" attribute. How are we any better, then, than Microsoft and all its superfluous DOM extensions? Please, put the spellcheck attribute in a namespace, get it approved by the W3C, or drop it.

|
- WPF/XBAP Support
- I know that this is going to be a hot-button topic, but WPF and XBAP is coming whether we like it or not. It would be sad if cool WPF/XBAP applications were only available on IE.

XHTML2 Working Draft
|
- XPointer support
|
|
- new DNS like system
- Having a mapping between domain names (evt. as a RegEx) and IP.
The idea is to be able to edit site that don't have a DNS entry, when we develop a new version that is not on the "real" site.
It's like to change this file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts but included in firefox.

- IE Compatibility
- Answer to below suggestion: Integrate IE tab into firefox by default.
- Add fallback mode to support non-standards based rendering when "IE only" features are present in a web page so that the page will render correctly. Allow feature to be turned on and off. Could be made into a plug-in instead of putting feature directly into Firefox. This feature would allow more people to convert to Firefox and leave IE behind forever.
- Agreed with the above statement. I have companies that insist I use MSIE, even if I'm in linux. I believe Opera has the feature whereby it uses the MSIE engine, but I haven't tested it on these sites. This needs to fix the problem of a) a site refusing to even load, if your using anything but MSIE, b) allowing uploads of files even with FF (over IE)
- Support for embedded managed code objects (ie .NET Windows Forms or platform independant MONO assemblies)
|
n/a
|
- Opera-like XHTML error processing
- When opening an XHTML document with a syntax error, Opera shows a source fragment with lines numbers and both the tag where the error's been found and the tag that is missing its closing part highlighted.
- There is also a "Reparse document as HTML" link.
- (very optional) There is also a link to the format specification.

- XSLT 2.0
- W3C Candidate Recommendation 8 June 2006

XSLT Candidate Recommendation

- XSL-FO 1.0
- W3C Recommendation 15 October 2001
|
XSL-FO Recommendation
|
- Full HTML 4.01, and CSS 2.1 compatibility.
- Increase the standard bar in HTML, and CSS standard.
- Firefox should work hand-in-hand with the W3, to be 100% compabiable with the current CSS/HTML/XHTML standards, so we web site writers can write our sites with FF in mind, and let IE, and others play catch-up. Also, FF should be updated quickly in order to be current with the next versions of such. We've wanted CSS, and such for years, and now we get it, it's the browsers that stop us from accually using it fully. There is no really good reason why at least FF shouldn't be 100% compatible (IE has an exchuse but I'm not going to bash companies here :)
- What's wrong with aiming for full CSS3 support? This is FF 3.0 we're talking about. Surely CSS 2.1 support is a given, and 3.0 is achievable in the timescale we're talking about.
