Mozilla Concept-Series Ideas-PART 1(History Timeline)

I could be a freaking idiot to make my first post on this blog be related to Mozilla one of my other favorites instead of something related to Yahoo! or Google.But I am an IDIOT.So I have put up some of my ideas for the Mozilla's concept-series for their next browser release.First of all, my ideas would be mostly concentrated on usability enhanced interface(UEI)[Ok, I framed the term] , instead of on UI.So may not be most of my requirements are of hi-fi 3-D level.This explains my first idea.

History Timeline:

Future Firefox History Timeline

  • The history could be on a time-line which is kind of like a dock.
  • It should be less resource intensive.
  • The look is kind of like the above(I suck at graphics,so bear with me).
  • The timeline will be accessible with arrow keys,scroll wheel or even pressing on those arrow keys.The speed should be configurable.
  • The centred item should be larger than the others.There should be a text label below the favicon displaying the title of the site.
  • There should be option to see the list in timeline(like the last accessed to the extreme left) or in alphabetical order for the specified time range(like today,yesterday,last week)
  • Also the search box should enable searching of the history and show the matching agin on time line.
  • If the favicon is not available,a default Icon could be displayed.The Icon should be having the Site Title on it so as to differentiate the Icons.
