Future Performance Ideas and Bug List
I've had lots of ideas to improve performance before that I've tried
and frequently come up with new ideas to try out. I'm just going to
list them here so that I don't forget them. And, of course, others are
free to try the ideas on their own. Of course I'd love to hear the
results of this kind of experimenting.

Non-performance related stuff
- Try the new places option when we get a working Trunk build. It
looks like this is not quite ready for primetime so hold off on this.
- Try internationalized builds. Start with German on Win64.
- negotiateauth options results in missing external symbols: Creating library firefox.lib and object firefox.exp

- Add the stuff so that plugins work with Thunderbird.
- Get the activex plugin working: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm
- But I have a special favor to ask because I really would like to use
the minimize to tray extension for firefox
(http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/) but it depends on a dll they only
compiled for 32 bit and therefor not works with your x64 build.
Their source is public so I wondered whether you could a do a x64
build of that extension for the people using your x64 firefox and
thunderbird. (MastahF at MozillaZine)
