I use mozilla all the time and I have a suggestion for the Quicklaunch tray icon
menu. 

Here's my problem. When mozilla's windows are all closed, I want to be able to
do certain tasks without having to open up a browser or another part of the app
to use the keyboard shortcut. For example, I compose messages all the time using
the CTRL M shortcut.  If all of mozilla's windows are closed, I end up clicking
the tray icon, launch the mail client, then press ctrl m or use the new message
button. To simplify this task, you could put in common tasks inside that tray
icon menu. 

For example, add a few common tasks to this menu, like:

New Navigator Window -- I know this is effectively pressing the "Navigator"
option, but i'm trying to group items together logically by task.
New Message -- spanws the message composition window.
New Composer Page -- same issue as the new navigator window.

It's just one of those things that would shave a second or two, but hell, life
is short, why should i wait for a computer :)

See Bug # 235999 which links this issue with related issue of adding 
additional tools to Quick Launch.

Quicklaunch/Turbo Mode is no longer supported in Seamonkey 2 and Seamonkey1.X is in the maintenance mode (fixing only security bugs)
