Does Firefox accept suggestions for becoming a better browser (than the others)?

Well, does it? And if so, then where should I post the suggestion? I repeat, this is browser related. (First time on this forum and I'm just trying not to post in the wrong place).
Thanks

Thanks Diego and john99. Since you're obviously nice and knowledgeable guys ready to help, I'd love to hear what you think about my suggestion:
Here is the problem that EVERYBODY browsing the Internet has: They are reading an article which is undated (billions of them online) and don’t have any date reference when the author of the article says things like “last month that happened” or “next week will fix it” (in the reader’s mind: “last month means what month and what year?!”, same for “next week”, “two years ago” and so on).
Now it is obvious that some grandma, or even some knowledgeable dude (in a rush) are highly unlikely to do the following:
(1) Right-click on the article s/he’s reading (in whatever browser);
(2) Click on “View page source”;
(3) CTRL + F
(4) Enter “date” in CTRL+F’s search box;
(5) Scroll thorough all returns for “'''date'''” including those from such words like consoli'''date''', up'''date''', vali'''date''' and so on until s/he finds '''Date'''Published
(6) Then do the math for “22 days ago they disappeared into the jungle”. Now I’m not complaining about point (6) but it comes handy in my proposal for Firefox to become the most appreciated browser just by fixing a detail that everybody ignored so far.
All steps (1) to (6) can be easily solved by a programmer (working for Firefox) with just a few lines of code. If you do so, do it the elegant way – to make sure you make a difference and please the billions of frustrated online readers -- as follows (I’ll be brief, since everybody that’s eyeing this forum instead of watching ‘Desperate Housewives’ will instantly understand what I’m talking about):
In an article that someone reads in your browser, identify and highlight (by using a certain font/color, or whatever else that will become common knowledge) the words related to a date (like “3 months from now”, “2 weeks ago” and so on), so this words, when hovered over => a tooltip inside which the math is done (taking into account the date the article was published) in an Excel (or similar) fashion and displaying exactly what “2 weeks ago” or “3 months from now” means.
For instance if the article is written/published on 9/13/2013 then this is what it’ll be displayed: for “4 days ago”: 9/9/2013, for “next month”: Oct. 2013 and so on; the user can customize the format of the dates displayed in the tooltip.
By elegantly fixing this very annoying online reality Firefox will have the most satisfied customers.

    Hi brotherbrown,
    A direct FireWire transfer (especially if it's 800 to 800) is going to be the fastest method. TimeCapsule would work, if you connect to it via Ethernet, via wireless it would be quite slow (especially if you have a large library).

  • Hey every one ... Does any one suggest for me a good browser for my tablet

    Hi
    I would like to have a better browser... Every browser i had tried is not good like if i wanna to upload a file i have to choose only from the gallery and nothing on the settings can change it.. I have tried dolphin browser, boat .. Etc almlst all of them but still and the built in browser every time i try to upload something it shut down by itself 
    Thanks for reading 

    I FIXED IT!
    FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
    P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

  • Why does Firefox take so long to load beta images on some sites?

    I upgraded to one of the latest versions of Firefox, and it's better in some ways. It loads much faster than previous versions, but when I try to look at certain websites - the Globe and Mail is one of them - I get messages like "waiting for beta images" and Firefox just sits there and I can't look at the site. Why does Firefox take so long to upload beta images? I don't have that problem with Internet Explorer.

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?  Other people sometimes want to use my i pad but I don't want them to have access to my e-mail (which is on AOL)
    Presently you can password protect the whole i pad by having to put in a 4 digit code to open it, but once it's open whoever is using it has access to everything you have on it.

    Skydiver...that did it!!  I shut the mail app from automatically opening and now I can sign onto my AOL acct. through Safari!!  I had called Apple Care and had asked  different peope in Apple stores about this and no one but you had any suggestions!  YAY!!  Thanks!!!

  • Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

    Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
    FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
    As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

    Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
    Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
    If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
    Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
    It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

    It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip.  Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.

    Details

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.
