Top five things I would like to see in Opera

Based on the call for user feedback at operawatch site for "5 things I would like to see in Opera ", I am listing out the following for opera people to consider.Actually, there are too many things I like to see and many are under discussions in a number of threads already. So its a tough task for me to choose top 5 wishes and put it in nice words!
Anyway, the job is not finished until I start. Here I go:
1.Right clickable menus(for example rename,move,drag/drop bookmarks from drop down list) and movable toolbars(ability to add/remove,drag/drop toolbars anywhere).
2. Integrated add-on/extension/enhancement/or whatever you name it into one platform to seamlessly search,download and install all kinds of add-ons from one single place in the preference or elsewhere. By all kinds of add-on I mean for example, program updates, skin,toolbar,setup,menu,language files, user scripts, widgets and even plug-ins. If incremental updating is not allowed in general, please think of incremental updating of major security updates.
3. Improved Download manager with comparable features like a stand alone programs.
4. Make M2 comparable to Outlook and Thunderbird in terms of professional features like calenders, full html support(people can enable/disable if they don't like) and most importantly give user to install it as separate standalone client. This could be done in number of ways like an option during installation or providing a toolbar setup by default in the program so that one can switch to that setup from preference menu.
5. Integrated backup tool along with option for reseting opera to factory settings. I also suggest that upon installation, opera automatically convert the names of toolbar,menu etc to users name. For example, in stead of "opera standard modified", the toolbar becomes "myname toolbar". This will save it from being replced by default one upon any reinstall steps. Also, if someone backsup the profile, the files will be saved in his name and there will be a whole less confusion.
Thats all for this short list of wishes! Hey opera, grant my wishes and make it more enjoyable for me.
Now here is my turn to tag (up to) 5 others: Tamil,Hildanknight,seifip,fred_erik,Dava.
If you happen to read this article, spread it to five more people.

If W3 succeeds more, active-x will not be a problem.
