Why is everyone obsessed with having small-as-possible icons (or putting everything all on one line). I can see why it might be appealing running at a low resolution, but on a larger display (anything above 880 by 600 really) the increase in viewport size seems a poor trade off for the smaller icon area and hence longer time to click (you need to be more precise, so it takes longer to position the mouse correctly). I can't help but wonder if this would also be a problem with having everything on a single bar (not least because this requires small icons so it doesn't look stupid).
I admit that I don't use full screen much, but it should offer fast browsing as all the buttons are really at the top of the screen, so you get mac-like 'fling the mouse and click' speeds, especially for 'back' which is by far the most common button.
Does this guy used mozilla?

nr. 4 - Change theme on the fly.
This indeed currently really sux in Mozilla. :(
nr 6 - Popup windows disallowed as default.
This is sux since when I pay thrue may online bank it opens a new window. How do I get that there is the blocking turned on by default? I would like, I'll blosk it thrue pref.
nr. 7 - Popup windows allow-lists
It is in Mozilla (and in NN7.01)
nr. 9 - Non-cluttered status bar
I do not use it and really do not care it is there, but someone find it very usefull...
nr. 10 - Forms intellisense, a la IE.
Yep, this is really needed in mozilla/nn (heard many complains from ex-ie users, for some this holds them to move from ie away. Netscape, do you hear?).
nr. 11 - favicon in bookmark.
A greate and wanted one, but not really a blocker.
nr. 12 - Alt-D takes you to the address bar.
Just give it a try in mozilla... Does not work with every locale and this sucks since I use cyrillic at the 75% of surfing. :(
I use Phoenix 0.5 as my main browser. I'm only going back to Mozilla once it is possible to use Bookmarks Manager in Mozilla without all the data loss.
Number 11

"When you place something on the bookmark toolbar, it remembers the favicon."
...but not necessarily with the correct favicon! and it doesn't remember it permently.
CTRL-L

Use right CTRL ;)
Customizable toolbars is the only better thing

Phoenix has many things (better) than Mozilla, but if I should choose only 1 and only 1 thing that Phoenix is better than Mozilla, I would choose the Customizable Toolbars.
I Dun Totally Agree

Both Mozilla and Phoenix using Gecko? It is is rely on the bottom quality thing, should not only see the surface features... IE users will laugh at us.
Furthermore why wouldn't Mozilla try to fix the lousy printing problem? Look at IE with the great printing problem...
Personally I use Mozilla running in Linux. I dispute MS software on their vulnerable and tired to get sick when have to lock down my box to keep virii and hackers out of the yard. If Mozilla does a good enhancement think printing support first... there are more important thing to fix rather than doing some eye candy stuff.
