im personaly very impressed with firefox and if I couldnt use crazybrowser I would use firefox
there are a few interface tweaks I would like to see that Crazybrowser has and I havent seen it firefox
1. anytime you type in an url in the address bar it always opens up in a new tab, not the same one that is active like it is currently in firefox
2. f2 and f3 to switch between the tabs
3. When you middle click on a link for it to open in a new tab it should go next to the current tab, I think it was like that in firefox0.8 but was removed in 0.9 so it opens up at the other end.
4. Drag and drop tabs to move them
5. Same favorite system that IE use, hyperlink shortcuts instead of a one big html file
... all I can think of right now
Font's are pretty easy nowadays for Linux and all that.
I like the http://www.dustismo.com/ fonts personally.
If your using Gnome you open up a file window. The easiest way is in "Explorer" mode. So pick any directory you want on your desktop and right click it and choose: Browse Folder
In the location bar erase what is there and type in "fonts://" and hit enter.
Any truetype font you put in (drag and drop is all you realy need) there will be accessable to most Applications. As long as your using a resonably new version of Linux.
That will set it up only for your user, but it's conveneint. I am sure there is a equally easy way to do it in KDE, but I am not familar with it.
Personally I prefer the command line so to place fonts in it manually the actual physical font folder for your user is ~/.fonts Just cp any TTF file into ~/.fonts directory and it should be aviable for you to use.
edit:
Also, although your probably already aware of it to get to fonts inside of Firefox you go tools-->options-->general, then the Fonts&Colors button.
For Gnome you can adjust any gnome fonts with the gnome-font-properties utility, also accessable thru the Application menu.
KDE I am not sure about, but I am sure that it's pretty easy.

Same here. The "block unwanted pop-ups" feature works perfectly 🙂

Well, you can look at the tab browser extensions.
Don't know about this.
With the extensions you can put your mouse over the tab bar and scroll between tabs. Also you can shit-alt-left will go to the previously selected tab, like a back button on a TV remote.
Don't know about this, still using 8.0 so I don't know.
The tab browser extensions can do this.
Well that's probably not going to happen. The entire browser is setup like one gigantic webpage. The buttons and sizes of the bars and all that are customizable thru CSS tags and stuff like that.
Plus it's easy with a text editor to edit all that html, if it isn't you need a better text editor. 😉 And it's better to use with other browsers because you can open up the html page in any WWW browser. Makes it easy to move shortcuts from one place to another or copy shortcuts from one computer to another.
Different design philosophy with Mozilla vs Microsoft, I guess.
Check out that tab extension stuff, though. It can do fun stuff like give the tabs different colors and save the tabs when you shutdown so when you open up it opens up all the tabs you were using. Also reopen closed tabs, and do "view source" per tab instead of thru the browser menu.
Stuff like that.
Works with mozilla and netscape, too, since Netscape nowadays is simply Mozilla with a few changes.

One bad thing though is that it adds overhead to everything and slows it down a bit. But it's not anywere crippling or anything like that.
EDIT:
If you REALY WANT to get into customizing and tweaking Mozilla/Firefox alot check out how to use the "USER Stylesheets" and stuff.
I use it to make it so that webpages don't scroll off of the right edge of the screen when using my laptop (800x600 max resolution), which I find very annoying.
But check it out.

Definately for the power user. Especially power users that know css a bit.
This realy shows you the power of having software that is free and open. In IE all this crap would either be hard coded to protect users from themselves or hidden deep in the registry. The sky is the limit and I bet some realy clever people can do some realy cool stuff with their browsers. (To much effort for me though, I have a entire OS and user interface I like to tweak and play around with)
Have fun!
