		<description>This:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367993

There&#039;s even a working extension for it.

And I dislike the default toolbar configuration a lot, such a tremendous waste of vertical space. I think the default themes of all other browsers are much better at this than Fx, specially now with &quot;always show the tab bar&quot; active by default.

I know I&#039;m not alone in this since I see a lot of screenshots from people who tried to delete all the default bookmarks (it appears that &quot;most visited&quot; can&#039;t be deleted, not that I&#039;ve tried) but didn&#039;t figure out how to turn off the bookmarks bar.</description>

		<description>Hi!
Will it be possible in the near future to customize the button-colors under Vista? Why I have to use blue buttons on Vista, even though I hate blue? I would like to use it in the xp-colours, too!!!</description>

		<description>Is it possible to have someone look at this bug (444346)?
  
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444436

I said, in the bug report:
The installer window for a Mac (on Firefox 3) could be done in a clearer
manner.  Right now, when you open the disk image, you&#039;re presented with a
picture of a Firefox icon and an arrow indicating that it should be dragged to
the Applications folder.  This could be clearer, particularly by including
explanatory text.</description>

		<description>OS X:
First of all, please see the picture of the following links.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/apple.macintosh.farm/SNZK0ZWNU6I/AAAAAAAAAPk/qa1fUlgMUXc/s800/Fx3r.png

There are two improvement requests.
1)I think that the Close button of tab has the good left.

2)You should make brighter the background color of tab which is not chosen. This is because the color of TEXT is also black, so it is very hard to see.

Please do your best for a good user interface. 　It is aiding.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Superdotman&lt;/strong&gt;: I don’t disagree. The size of a toolbar button should be apparent before hovering over it. I was just saying that having unused space, especially above and below the location bar, bothered me more. Also, since I don’t use the OS X version of Firefox, that unused space will always do nothing.</description>

		<description>David, re toolbar button size:

Yeah, I figured that out after messing with it. But really, buttons&#039; visual appearance should correspond to their clickable areas. It&#039;s common sense.

Violating common sense means that the areas right above and below a button are clickable, but not to the left and to the right.

Violating common sense means that some toolbar whitespace affects nothing, some activates a button, and some moves the window. A connected expanse of grey should not have three different behaviors!

Plus the extra clickable area is only useful to people who don&#039;t look where they&#039;re clicking to begin with. Those who do look will (and do) click on the visible area.

Markus Stange:
Awesome! It looks so much better now.


OS X:

The default downloads folder should be the default Downloads folder.

The whole toolbar should be draggable, not just the title bar.

When Mr. Lizard and I said RIGHT, we meant LEFT. ´•_•`

Why does the text in a tab get blue-outlined when you click on it? The outline doesn&#039;t seem to represent anything.

 
Three cheers for the Firefox team! yay yay yay</description>

		<description>- places: when searching, highlight selected result&#039;s folder - at least allow opening containing folder in contextual menu (so that you can better organize bookmarks)
- contextual menu for awesome bar suggestion (eg. copy link location without visiting site)</description>
