1729878 - Rename Delete Bookmark in menu to Delete and place at the bottom

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement, P5)

Description

[tero gusto]

After bug 1714478 got fixed, "Remove Bookmark" was renamed to "Delete Bookmark" in the drop down menu, which is an improvement, so thanks for that.

To simplify the GUI and make it more user friendly, I propose a simple "Delete" at the very bottom of the drop-down for Bookmarks, but the same could work for Folders.

The wording and position of "Delete" at the bottom is also how it used to be, so what I propose is essentially reverting to the previous design:

Marking this enhancement as NEW for it to gain more visibility.

Attachment: Prev FF context menu delete item between separators

A previous version of FF had the Delete item in the context menu between separators. It was that way whether you accessed the context menu from sidebar or Locations/Library. The separators add a slight pause (the movement over the separator) that helps prevent accidental deletions.

A number of bug reports on bookmarks contain replies mentioning Undo.

Maybe put Undo and Redo on the bookmark context menu.

Attachment: Firefox Original simple bookmark menu

I prefer the original Firefox menu, simple and to the point, from 2010?

Honestly, I think we should just revert to this design.
