I'VE BEEN USING MOZILLA instead of Internet Explorer for a few weeks now, and prefer it for various little reasons. The Mozilla people ask for suggestions, and here are mine, which also apply to other browsers:

1. In the main browser window, all the controls the user wants to have handy should be put on one line (one toolbar), not four (including below the displayed webpage), to save more space for the webpage being viewed. The font for the controls should be adjustable so the user can make it very small, to save space.

2. Allow the FIND IN PAGE button to be put on a toolbar.

3. PREFERENCES should be under TOOLS or FILE, not under EDIT.

4. There should be an images setting for "Block off-site images from this site".

5. There should be a button for REMOVE BOOKMARK? displayed in the browser just after I go to one of my bookmarks.

6. The address list should allow automatic addition of anyone who writes TO me as well as TO WHOM I write.
