      • Add ability to download a personal website from SkyDrive so its links work

        Using Mango Office, I can download an HTML page from SkyDrive but any links in it don't open the linked page so the personal website can't be used in Flight Mode.

        • Implement the forward and back swiping features from Windows 8 in Mobile IE10

          On a Windows 8 tablet, you can swipe across the page to move either forward or backwards. Seeing as there isn't room (nor a button) for going forward, implementing this feature would make a lot of people happy. It would also provide a consistent user experience across the desktop/tablet/phone while using IE.

          • IE should have a back button

            Currently, if you leave IE and then return, you can't navigate back a page because hitting the back button returns you to the home screen

            • Please return the favorites button and the foward option

              I t made it a lot simpler to find my favorite sites with a single button instead of looking through the options.

                  • Add 'Fav +Fav Tab' bar with autohide on bottom & 'address bar' on top also with autohide.

                    The 'address bar' should remain on top (with autohide). The 'Fav +fav Tab' bar should remain at bottom with autohide.

                          • Windows phone 8 needs a way to control internet for teenagers. bad websites cannot be block, ie cannot be disabled

                            Be able to disable or control internet explorer for teenagers so that objectionable website cannot be accessed. I absolutely love window 8 phone. I actually feel horrible. I want windows phone 8 to succeed. I just bought a windows phone for my teenage son and I will have to return it unless I can be shown how to control internet explorer or disable internet explorer. The stakes are too high.

                                • Allow extensions in Internet Explorer

                                  I'd love to be able to use plugins and extensions in IE 10. For example, I am a big user of Pocket, and would love a "read later" add on, and I use SuperGenPass to manage my passwords, so an SGP plugin would make my life a lot easier.

                                        • Make IE9 deal with the HTML5 mobile web better

                                          Open Facebook on iOS, and then in WP7 - stark difference. make IE10 deal with such HTML5 pages better. Mobile IE9 users deserve better!
