Top ten Firefox browser annoyances

Heavily abbreviated list from the article:

Quote
#1. The concept of "language packs" that was so prevalent on the Mozilla 1.x and Netscape 6.x / 7.x days seems to have been dropped in favour of "one Firefox installer for every language".

#2. Why deliver security fixes as "new versions", instead of patches?.

#3. Mozilla Foundation should offer users the option of an applications bundle,

#4. Firefox currently is currently riding the "mindshare wave" and making headlines

#5. The Gecko Runtime Engine (GRE) was created so, in theory, all applications could share a single "runtime engine", and avoid the duplication of files. This is often not the case.

#6. No splash screen.

#7. No "CCK". Netscape once offered their "Client Customization Kit" for their Mozilla Suite based 7.x browser.

#8. NO FTP UPLOADS.

#9. BRING BACK THE TABBED SIDEBAR,

#10. Outside voices have little saying in the future direction of Firefox, or Thunderbird.

#11. Okay, I said ten... here's one more: An INSTANT MESSENGER (coded in xul) should be integrated.

Two annoyances I found:

1) CTRL-U brings up HTML source anywhere, including the address bar and text fields. I want to blank out the line!
2) Ok/Cancel buttons reversed so that OK is near the outer edge.
