« Firefox/Feature Brainstorming
| Specific features |
References |
|---|
- Improvements
- Improve PDF support and handling (Built in PDF viewer with support for more exotic features like forms, javascript, etc.)
- Save page as PDF
- Improve Java support
- Add support for SFTP and FISH (SSH2)
- When a third party plug-in is installed (eg. for Windows codecs), Firefox should spoof websites that return a "get plug-in" message so that it fools the website into thinking the official plug-in is installed. This way you will not keep getting the "get the plug-in" redirect message even when Mplayer with the necessary Windows Media codecs is already installed.
- If no plug-in is installed, Firefox should redirect to a Firefox plug-in site which will lead the user to the correct plug-in, rather than waste time on a website which only has Windows or IE plug-ins.
