== Port distcc to MSYS ==

Users can enable a "master password" in their browser, which securely encrypts all their stored passwords. The current implementation can be awkward to use and has some limitations, see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322617 bug 322617]. Fixing this would involve having password manager being more involved with the cryptography operations -- deriving a key from a passphrase with PKCS#5, and using NSS and PKCS#11 to encrypt/decrypt entries.

Firefox 3 will support offline abilities, such that web developers can write their apps so they work even when no network is present. Good headway has been made already [http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2007/02/offline-zimbra-with-firefox.html porting Zimbra]. Pick another web app and add offline support, for example: [http://moodle.org Moodle].

Write a simple (i.e., nothing more than a simple "save session") extension to leverage the existing [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Session_restore_API Session Store API] in order to allow the user to save his/her currently open tabs and restore them. This is similar to what Firefox does when it unexpectedly crashes and gives the user the option to restore a previous session. NOTE: there are extensions that do this already, but many of them are more feature rich than need be. See also [http://www.beltzner.ca/mike/archives/2007/05/28/resurrect_your_session.html this blog post].

== [[Bugzilla component-watching]] ==

Mozilla's [http://wiki.mozilla.org/FUEL FUEL] (Firefox User Extension Library) is a JavaScript Library designed to help developers build extensions using terminology and interfaces that are more familiar to them. Currently it works with Firefox 3, but it would be helpful to have it work with Firefox 2 as well. Work toward having the existing [http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/find?string=fuel%2Ftest%2Fbrowser_ FUEL Tests] pass for Firefox 2.

== Webpage Delta Debugger ==

It'd be really nice to have a webpage "delta debugger" extension - something where the user could make a change, save a complete copy of the document post-change, load it in the browser again, and see if the bug's still there. If it is, user makes another change, gets another complete copy saved, loads the new copy, lather rinse repeat. If the bug isn't there, scrap the newly saved copy, but allow the user to annotate it, saying "Hey, I tried this already, don't try it again".
