Those are all really good ideas, and I've had some similar thoughts myself.

But, they won't be added to Firefox unless they are first added to Chrome, and they certainly won't be added to Chrome.

Firefox was I believe the first browser to include blocking of popups, and it was said to be irresponsible and harmful to advertisers. But the days of Firefox being at all disruptive are long over.

No it was Opera. Same for tabbed browsing (can you imagine not having that today? only spawning new windows?).
