I'm a big Firefox fan for one major reason : it's the most customizable browser out there. I just love the right-click/Customize and all the available extensions.
My suggestion won't be for a new tool, but it's a suggestion anyway : Please always allow users the decide what they prefere. Choose any defaults you think are the best, but always add a configuration to be able to change it!
An example of this : I don't remember when exactly, but in one release, Firefox devs decided to remove the "loading cursor"( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482985 ) without any config:about setting to enable it back!!! I was furious, not simply because I prefere to see this loading cursor, but because Firefox didn't allow me the choose what I wanted.
Thanks for reading and thanks a lot to all devs contributing to this wonderful browser!

(By the way, it's now possible to enable the loading cursor using ui.use_activity_cursor = true)
