1362207 - Remove the dropdown menu from the footer of the Downloads Panel

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Downloads Panel, enhancement, P2)

Description

[:Paolo Amadini]

After implementing the dropdown menu in the footer of the Downloads Panel, we found several issues with the behavior of the sub-menu that prevented us from releasing the feature, and would be time consuming and difficult to fix.

In the meantime, the Photon redesign included a new concept for an easily accessible Downloads Library that would not require a submenu:

At the time, we kept the feature enabled for Nightly and Developer Edition, but not for Beta. Given that there are no plans to release the feature in the short term, and in the long term we'll have a different design, we should remove the unreleased code.

We can still keep the string "Open Downloads Folder" in the tree with an explaining comment, so it can be reused by the Photon of the feature.

Wesly, you've probably already seen that the other bugs are now resolved as duplicates. They can be removed from the CHE dashboards, as we'll use Photon Structure tracking to implement the newly designed interface at the appropriate time, which can also be later than Firefox 57.

Thanks Paolo for the reminder and Yes, I've noticed those bug status are updated recently and will reflect it in my tracking dashboard, too.
