Hi folks,

In my opinion Home Dash is great idea! Please continue working on this
approach.

Some things I discovered (I know that this is a proof of concept/idea/
preview):
- When typing a into the "address/search bar", Firefox loads the page
in the background. But if that page requires HTTP authentication, the
login dialog appears <-- not good.
- When typing a into the "address/search bar", please allow keyboard
navigation using cursor keys, to choose one of the recommendations and
display where the recommendation comes from (e.g. bookmarks, search
engine, web page links, history).
- Please allow keyboard navigation in the home dash (tab key/cursor
keys/esc key)
- When the mouse cursor is over a link in a web page, FF4 (without
home dash) shows the link URL in the address bar. Home dash completly
removes this importang feature.
- Currently there's no way to edit the current URL manually - would be
great to get that back.
- Please keep in mind not to focus on mouse and keep almost everything
usable using keyboard shortcuts.

Home Dash is cool :-)

Regards,
Robert
