Personally I rather liked Cmd-H as grab selection and search, but Apple seemed to have had their way on this. Go to Home does not need a keystroke, and it would seem that Cmd-Shift-H would do for Open History. This may seem a tight fit, but Cmd-Opt-H and Cmd-Ctrl-H are still available. Actually, I am not sure that a Cmd key is needed for Toggle display of the Sidebar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press Cmd-H 2. 3. Actual Results: The History has a 50% probability of appearing. Expected Results: Phoenix should have hidden itself

Sorry, spoke too soon. Firebird starts with this correct, but the keybinding Cmd-H flips spontaneously.
Confirmed in build 20030503 on Mac OS X 10.2.5

Actually it works when you've just started Firebird. But when you open the 'Go' menu, the you see the cmd-H shortcut for the history-sidebar. From that moment on, the cmd-H shortcut is removed from the hide-firebird menuitem and we have this bug. So, I think this can be fixed by giving the history-sidebar a different shortcut (shift-cmd-H, like 'Zilla ?).
You are right, and I would certainly concur with your suggested solution. Is there a set of instructions somewhere for building Mac OS X Phoenix?
Summary: Cmd-H short cut key is the Apple standard for Hide Phoenix → Cmd-H short cut key is the Apple standard for Hide Mozilla Firebird
Cmd-H should be used to Hide Firebird. Cmd-Option-H should hide others (and as of 20030521 build does) Safari uses Shift-Cmd-H to go to Home. Maybe instead of History in the sidebar, there could just be a History menu as in Safari. No need for a button then.
I'd have to relook but I could swear it's either in the Apple UI Guidelines manual or some other dev manual by Apple that Command H is standard and agreed to be Hide the program, therefore Command H should not be View history (as it is now) but Hide Firebird. I'd agree with above Command, Option, H should be Hide Others as for View History state another keyboard attribute can be developed for it using another modifier and/or key equivalent, heck try Control, Shift H or Option, Shift H or any other assortment. Either road taken, Command H should be Hide Firebird. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030527 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

With regards to Comment #9 Paul thanks for the heads up, I knew this one time I should have sworn [I saw it in some Apple dev manual] lol Next time I'll bet myself, hehehe As of: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030530 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 ...this bug seems to be resolved to conform to Apple UI Guidelines (gif attached) Can someone else try to replicate it and prove too or disprove with the nightly indicated that it's not resolved, elsewise as it stands with this nightly the issue has been corrected.
When first started cmd-h does hide firebird, but once you open the Go menu, it is remapped to History. This is still occuring on the latest nightly 20030530. This is the behaviour described in comment#5. So this bug is not yet resolved to be sure.
See bug 204418 for weird menubar behavior: with no windows open, the menubar reverts to a Mozilla menubar which does have the correct History shortcut, but once you open a window you get Firebird menus which use Cmd-H for History.

Just a small question: How is a mac-only bug is verified using a Windows build?
Fixes for Mac OS X only bugs should be verified from people using that OS.

Re-resolving. Please verify this bug if your using a current Mac OS X nightly build or post a comment in this bug and I will verify it. Thank you.

The nightly builds of Mozilla Firebird for MacOS X appear to not have been updated since 7/15/03 (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/ is dated 7/15/03.) I'm not sure how anyone can verify this short of rebuilding the source tree until that is fixed.
Use the builds from http://smartasfuck.com/mozilla/ as long as there are no official nightlies.
