 Recent Wordpress releases add a "turbo" feature that uses Gears local
 cache to store many static resources locally and increases the overal
 performance of the admin panel.

 Firefox 3.1 will support the same functionality natively, without the need
 for a plugin. Wordpress could streamline it's user experience and minimize
 dependencies if it used the new Firefox feature.

 http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Offline_resources_in_Firefox
 discusses how the offline resources work in Firefox. Firefox 3.0 did not
 support enough of the HTML5 offline spec to enable this feature for
 Wordpress, but Firefox 3.1 will and the feature will appear in nightly
 versions of Firefox 3.1 soon.
