Default UI for contentEditable — Provide a great, default UI for contentEditable: Everyone constructs their own UI on top of contentEditable at the moment, we should supply a good default implementation, like we do for video controls. Table editing in particular is bad ,the inner workings of contentEditable need some love too.

Simplify Firefox UI concepts — there are too many concepts right now — bookmarks, tab groups, new tab page, Panorama, Library, folders, tags, windows, etc. Investigate what to cut, what to combine, and what the big units are. New interface primitives for extensions: combine the multitude of hook-in points to a single interface.
