Lead Firefox developer Ben Goodger give us The Inside Track on Firefox Development that includes a roadmap that outlines some of the improvements that will be made to Firefox 2.0. I don’t have any specific improvements I’d like to see me but I’m a little bit disappointed that they aren’t telegraphing any real surprises in the next version of Firefox. Maybe that’s a testament to how good it already is!
It looks like the biggest enhancement will be to the bookmark management system. Hopefully we’ll see some innovation in this space. Bookmarks work the same in every browser I can remember from the days of Netscape 2.0. The only real change was when MS decided to call them ‘Favorites’ ;-)

I agree — I’ve been frustrated with the lack of innovation around bookmarks, as well. The most interesting things I’ve seen are:
1. Bookmark synchronizer plugin.
2. .Mac’s ability to synch bookmarks.
3. del.icio.us.
4. I think IE 7 is going to do something cool, but I can’t remember what.
