1426879 - It's way too easy to accidentally click quit with the three-horizontal-lines menu.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[MarjaE]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20171206101620

Steps to reproduce:

I was trying to use the "customize" option in the three-line menu. I often have the same problem when I'm trying to reach the "customize" options, and the "report deceptive site" options.


Actual results:

I am clumsy and ended up quitting. I often end up quitting by accident when I try to use that menu. I find these menus slippery and hard to use.


Expected results:

I can restore previous session, but I shouldn't have to risk accidentally quitting.

Maybe allow users to reach the "customize" options, and the "report deceptive site" options, using the regular top-of-screen or top-of-window menus?

How? Between "Customize…" and "Exit" there's
* a separator
* Open File…
* Save Page As…
* Print…
* a separator
* Find in This Page…
* More >
* Web Developer >
* Help
* a separator

For "Customize…", right-click (or I guess Control+Click on a Mac) one of the buttons on the right side of the navigation toolbar. Certain items can also be removed directly by right-clicking them and choosing "Remove from Toolbar".

"Report Deceptive Site…" is in the Help menu on the menu bar.

I am clumsy and I slip. I obviously can't take a screenshot, but there's Customize, Help, Quit, all at the bottom of the menu; there aren't the other things you point too.

It looks like you're on the ESR channel. You'll see new menu when it updates to version 60.

Yes, with Firefox Quantum (v57) the Quit option is now much further away from Customize. It is still close to Help, but there is a separator between Help and Quit. I'll close this bug as worksforme. If you are not running Firefox ESR, then you should update to the latest version which will fix this for you.
