Mozilla is getting closer to Firefox 2.0, but the development of version 3.0 has been going on for some time already. Now Mozilla has decided to turn to the community to get suggestions on features and functions that the users would like to see in the next version. It has divided the suggestions into the regular categories (browser customization, privacy features, security, etc.), like the extensions, and they’ve already become quite a few. Customization is the most popular category and there seem to be many who would like to see a more Opera-like interface. Arstechnica also bring up another interesting suggestion;
“One interesting request appears near the end of the list: the wish for Firefox to be the “fastest browser on the market,” even in low-memory configurations such as PCs with only 256 MB of RAM. This may seem an impossible goal when taken alongside the long list of wanted features, but the poster has a plan: make most browser features optional. Dedicated Firefox fans will recall that many “new” features in the browser were once available via user-written plugins. As more and more features are added to the core build, there will undoubtedly be some users who yearn for a smaller browser that takes fewer system resources (such as RAM) to run.”
