1171137 - Include Firefox Account profile avatar and email address in Fennec context menu

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, defect, P5)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

In the same way that the hamburger menu on Desktop shows the account email address and a Sync icon, I'd like to show the current account one level higher in the hierarchy (so you don't go [menu button] > Settings > Sync, but instead just [menu button] > Account details).

Technically, this might look like a custom menu item providing two actions: "Sync now" and "Sync settings".

antlam, do you have an opinion?  A design?

Oh -- it would be cool to include your avatar image in this menu item.  Firefox should be personal!

vivek: putting this on your radar.

Interesting! This could work. Though I think two actions is a bit much. 

But I can try to whip something up.

Here's a WIP that I'm trying out. I'm still not satisfied with the placement. Visually, it still seems quite out of place.

One way to resolve this would be to clean up the options in this overflow menu such that we could place this item (avatar and user email) at the bottom. 

Placing it at the foot of this menu anchors the UI nicely (just like on Desktop). But, that would be outside the scope of this bug.

Still UX work to be done here

antlam, how do you think this might fit with the recent photonish efforts?

Thanks for reminding me! 

Maybe! We haven't talked about this specific part of UI for Photon V1. Though menus are getting a bit of a visual update.

I also don't remember the history/conversation around this anymore. I'll have to see if this is going to change on Desktop as well.
