164446 - [RFE] UP-button for FTP and FILE protocolls

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 89005

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Damir Perisa]

Request for Enhancement:
What about a fifth button besides BACK, FORWARD, RELOAD and STOP?
What can be useful is a UP-Button for going one directory up; this functionality
is really useful in FTP and FILE protocolls and in some cases also in normal
'surfing'

This button exists in Konqueror (KDE-windowmanager) and is extremly useful in
FTP and FILE-access over browser, and in some cases in normal surfing (when HTTP
is used, it simply changes the URL and does a reload: from
http://somewhere/dir/subdir/index.html it will request http://somewhere/dir/ 
from server --- sure in usual surfing this makes not much sence, but when you
previewing internet-projects (localy), it is extemly useful)

i don't know for other users, but for me, there are only 2 reasons to use
Konqueror instead of mozilla on linux: the bad perfomance of mozilla on
unix/linux systems and the missing UP-Button
as there are not much alternatives on windows-machines, i use primary mozilla,
but the UP-button maybe a great enhancement anyways (or better said: to enhance
mozilla)
