Check this out…. I never thought of this but you might be able to use the ‘lock’ icon to trick people into revealing too much personal information. Apparently they’re considering removing favicon support in Firefox 3.0 because of this…. We are considering removing the favicon from the location bar, and changing the location bar so [...]

For example the NYTimes has two versions of the same URL:http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/01/washington/01foley.html?_r=1&oref=sloginandhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/01/washington/01foley.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=printThe second link is the print version.Someone should write a Firefox extension to detect URLs as they’re loaded and rewrite them to the print version of the URL.Granted this might upset some publishers who want the CPMs for their ads. This probably won’t be as big of a deal though since so few people would end up installing the extension.

with Firefox 2.0 due out sometime in Sept followed by IE 7.0 we should really start to see some another round of innovation here shortly. This should help all those Ajax guys out there from tearing their hair out.

FireFox is cool and all but I always liked the Mozilla application suite…. I also like the design of Mozilla and I never really liked FireFox.
