<div>You make it sound like Firefox behaves on the target OS
as the target OS might expect an app to behave... but I
know Firefox does not do that on Windows. The Firefox
window is anything but "standard", including most of the
window chrome and controls. I (along with many AHK users)
wish it were.</div>

<div>Maybe this initiative will change that?</div>

<div>I'm speaking a little past my pay grade here, so don't
quote me on this, but my impression is that throwing XUL and
XBL overboard will not on its own cause us to ascend bodily
into Platform-Specific UX Heaven. It promises to make it a lot
easier to work on problems like those you describe, though,
for everyone who cares about making Firefox better. <br>
<br>
Like a few people in this thread, though, you're talking about
plans for the future of Firefox in terms of problems you have
with Firefox as it is today, and I'd love to know if those
problems have had bugs filed about them. It's really difficult
for us to prioritize problems that we don't know our users
actually have, and if a lot of AHK+Firefox users have the same
settings because we're providing the wrong set of keybindings,
that definitely sounds like something we want to hear about! <br>
