|[[Create Local MXR]]
|Many developers without highspeed network access would like to be able to use [http://mxr.mozilla.org MXR] but can't. Build a lightweight, installable Windows package that gives the full functionality of MXR locally. Create a [http://labs.mozilla.com/featured-projects/#prism Prism] front-end specific for the task of using this local MXR.

|[[Add an Infobar style warning for window resize/move]]
|Many (poorly behaved) web sites attempt to move and/or resize your browser window. It is possible to stop this behaviour (cf. dom.disable_window_move_resize) but it would be nice to have an infobar that informed the user that a web page attempted to move/resize the window, and allow it or ignore it (default). This behaviour is similar to the current Pop-up Blocker already present in Firefox. NOTE: it is not clear whether such a feature would be accepted in the tree or if this would need to be done as an extension.

|The new Private Browsing feature (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248970 bug 248970] and the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Ehsan/PrivateBrowsingTests test plan]) needs thorough tests written in order to insure its proper functionality. This will involve collaborating with those writing the patch and tests in order to develop a full suite of tests.

|[[Profile the build system]]
|It's a well known fact that it takes longer to build on Windows than on a comparable Linux or Mac machine. We don't know exactly why, however. There have been many theories, but no real data. Profiling the build system would allow us to figure out where all of the time is being spent. The best place to start might be by adding some profiling to GNU Make, to figure out which targets in our makefiles take the most time. From there, depending on the results, profiling could be added to other parts of the build system to narrow down specific bottlenecks.

|[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Thunderbird_Image_Auto-Resize Thunderbird Image Auto-Resize]
|Write an extension for Thunderbird that gives functionality similar to that of Outlook, where image attachments in an email can be automatically re-sized to one of a set of smaller sizes. This is helpful for users who would otherwise try to send megabytes of image data, when they can safely scale the images down and still share their pictures with friends.

|[[NetworkManager Web Authentication]]
|NetworkManager knows how to connect to many different types of networks, both wired and wireless, and can auto-authenticate to WEP and WPA networks. However, it can't auto-authenticate to networks that require a web-based login, which includes many wired and wireless networks such as SeneNET and AirYork.
 
Modify NetworkManager so that it talks (though dbus) to a Firefox extension for automatic login to a web-authenticated network.

|[[Make Ubiquity Work In Thunderbird]]
|Ubiquity is a cool extensible natural language front-end to Firefox. It could do wonders in Thunderbird as well. Aza Raskin and other Ubiquity hackers are happy to help someone do that with their Ubiquity knowledge, and #maildev will be happy to assist w/ Thunderbird knowledge.

|[[User:Ashughes/BirdTorrent|Add Bit Torrent support to Songbird]]
|[http://getsongbird.com Songbird] is the best music player in the known universe! Unfortunately, it does not have support for importing media directly from a torrent to the user library. This project will provide that support.
