Pasting wrapped URLs in Mozilla/Firefox
Discovering this really made my day: if you go to about:config and set editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines to 3 then Firefox will just Do the Right Thing when given a URL split over several lines. I wish this behaviour were the default. (#23485).

Brad informs me that Konqueror already does this.

Manpage URLs in Mozilla
I wish I could type man:ls in Mozilla and have it render the manual page from my local system. I wonder if someone could do this (or has done it?) as a plugin? I know there are manpage gateways on the web and available for local use but I'd rather it was more integrated.
It turns out to work quite well to register, say http://seth.positivism.org/man.cgi?q=%s as a quick search called "man", though that's not quite current for my machine.
