Talk:Features of Mozilla Firefox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
could the 2nd paragraph of #themes be moved to the history article? --Quiddity 09:24, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
yep

[edit] Security
I don't know if all of the security section belongs in here. It seems to drift away from talking about the features of Firefox.--Nonpareility 19:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The overall state of this article
A few things I think need to happen
- Make it less marketing-y. Talk about (notable!) criticisms made about certain features. For example, I added a cited criticism that extensions are harder to use than if the functionality was there by default.
- We need to figure out which features are notable enough to mention, which are notable enough to have their own section, etc.
- Include references in all claims.
- Update the article. The "new" features in 1.5 aren't so new anymore.

I agree, particularly with the first point. The whole article just looks like a plug for Firefox. And as for notable features, this definitely needs to be worked on, as most of the features listed here are in other browsers anyway and weren't even invented by Firefox. In my opinion, this article is completely useless (few unique features here, without the features copied by Fx and copied from Fx, there's not enough noteworthy to make a seperate article), but there's no sense deleting it if people are willing to work on it.--195.112.40.80 16:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vulnerability history
Why does this section keep getting removed? It's incredibly important in determining how good Firefox's security is. It belongs right in the security section, not in the history article. (Perhaps it's poorly named, though. "Vulnerability statistics" might be better).--Nonpareility 02:33, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mozilla vs. Seamonkey
I just corrected the article to state that Firefox borrowed the tabbed browsing concept from the Multizilla extension for Mozilla. The article stated previously that tabbed browsing had come from the Multizilla extension for Seamonkey. This cannot have happened because the original Mozilla suite supported tabbed browsing before either Firefox or Seamonkey branched from it. Quanticle 21:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UserChrome.css
Firefox customization via UserChrome.css is a feature which could be added to this article :) VTNC 04:05, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- It's there under Customization.--Nonpareility 19:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tabbed browsing
Someone thought it would improve this article to completely remove any mention of the matter that would most interest Firefox users reading this section: That version 2 breaks the tab functioning that millions of 1.5x users expect. And that there is an easy, hidden, way to restore the expected functioning. Please, let's not contaminate our great encyclopedia by making it actually useful. 69.87.193.126 23:13, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot in tabbed browsing
An image with Firefox with a random skin showing a random webpage isn't an appropriate demonstration of tabbed browsing. A zoom-in of Firefox with the default skin showing the default homepage and some other major page would be better.--Nonpareility 17:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

- Done. Kc4 18:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I forgot to include a couple words in what I wanted: "A zoom-in of tabs in Firefox". The Firefox window is big, so it's currently hard to even see the tabs.--Nonpareility 19:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Now why didn't I think of that... consider it done Kc4 19:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
