Everybody and their grandmother has done a list of Firefox features you would like to see come to the browser, but what features could you do without? There is no doubt that fans of Firefox like a light browsing experience, so could Firefox do with a little house cleaning of features not used or loved by many?
Security Zone Policy Errors – This seems to be more of a problem than most people realize. From this one blog post, I see people coming in every day having issues with it. So, should Firefox be relying on Windows security settings for downloading applications and other potentially unsafe files from the Internet?
Descriptions for Bookmarks – Have you ever right-clicked a bookmark, Went down to properties and typed in a description about a page you had saved? No, I haven’t either – so this might be another Firefox feature ready for the junk yard. Name, Location, and Keyword is good enough for me.
Now it is your turn, what Firefox feature could you live without?
Firefox Facts Bonus! This morning I installed Intense Debate for FirefoxFacts.com. I am really excited to see how much better this makes the commenting system here on the web site. No registration in necessary, but if you do – there are some cool extra features you will get, such as reputation points, comment voting, and tons of other cool things. (Learn More!)

maybe for you but I use it in setting up my 3 daily newsletters. each newsletter has several sections with corresponding matching: notepad & bookmark folder. when done collecting news items from Greader,My Yahoo & Daily Rotation,open bookmarks,open each folder.copy the name,url to description box,copy,do next item same in folder,paste the previous copy,copy the new items,copy both items,and repeat till all items are copied in folder.open notepad [ ex: bkmk folder = computer,there will be a notepad named computer ] and paste. ccp all sections,open post message to [ Yahoo ] group and paste
Many add-ons in Firefox are novelties or entertainment (i.e. stumbleon) I think a better question would be "What are the most useful add-ons"
The "Awful Bar" is something i would love to get rid of!
Every time i start typing in a keyword or URL its suggestions blot out half of the screen.
Most annoying. PLEASE let me turn it off permanently!
Forgot about that one as an "every man" complaint. Personally it doesn't but me much…
