206823 - [UI] Add standard Mozilla Tools Menuitems to the "Tools" Menu of FireBird

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Carsten Menke]

I think we should have the standard Menuitems of the Mozilla Suite "Tools" menu 
available also in FireBird.

For example I like Mozilla that much because of 2 things:

1. A good rendering engine and complete set of applications (Mail,Composer etc.)
2. As a Webdeveloper you have all things you need and also within in a short 
click count.

For that I really liked the Cookie Manager,Popup Manager and the Image Manager. 
being two clicks away or even accessable by a shortcut.

Could we get that in ?

For that matter, a long term goal could be to allow the user to manipulate the
menus.  The user could move menu items around in menus, in between menus, and
even to the toolbar or as bookmarks.  This is obscenely ambitious, of course.

Extra tools for webdevelopers and quick access to features already in the UI lie
in the realm of extensions. There are extensions for all the functionality
mentioned by the reporter and webdevelopers should be proficient enough to
install them. Recommending WONTFIX.

jbaber: Suggestion is off topic for this bug, I suggest opening a new one.

if you like to see all web developers stay at Mozilla 1.5 or prior - yes.

Firebird core is for end-users, not web developers.  This is UI bloat to 95% of
users, ergo WONTFIX.

^^ Two extensions that give the ability to do many of these things.  You may
want to comment in 214269 regarding the type of "web developer" features that
should be in the "developer" install package.

Because it is for end-users it really needs "Unblock cookies from this site",
otherwhise it does not need cookie-handling at all.

If I visit a new web site that wants to store a cookie, I deny cookies and store
that, because I dont want them. But as some pages dont work without cookies I
must accept it. Then I have the possibility to delete all my collected
exceptions for cookies or I must search through the list of exceptions to delete
the one exception from the list. The first method makes the storage of exception
for cookies a silly thing because you delete your list frequently. The second
method needs a lot of effort to find the site, you want to delet from the list.
This is totally unaccaptable for end-users.

Thus the user must be able to easily delete the stored exception for cookies
from the current site.

Hi,
About cookie control.

Though some extension enables this cookie control, even extension author expects
it to be integrated in core some times. From : http://gorgias.de/mfe/ and
"permit Cookies" extension : 

"...and only permit cookies from sites you trust. I believe this will be
implemented in Firefox with some kind of button like the one for the
pop-up-killer but this is an acceptable solution for now I think."

This actually makes very much sense to me. I don't quite understand what it is
which make this RFE a "web developer only." As an end user I am so tired about
clicking those deny/access button. Am dreaming about something as handy as the
small status bare pop-up control icon.

All the comments on how hard it is to allow given web site set up a cookie
sounds very relevant to me.

The same about images.
