184227 - option to display main menu in a compact manner (titles with one letter or main menu button)

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Description

[Franck Arnaud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1
Build Identifier: 

Now that the main menu bar can bse used as a toolbar, it would be convenient 
if the menu titles could be abbreviated to one letter, to leave space 
for toolbar widgets in the menu bar. This is like the compact 
toolbar in Dillo.

That is replace: File Edit View Go etc
with: F E V G B T W H

Alternatively, have a "main menu" button which displays the main 
menu as a drop down and make it possible to disable the menu bar 
(which the user could replace with this button in their toolbar).

[BUTTON] /* when clicked, drop down main menu below */
File
Edit
View
Go
Bookmarks
etc


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
