3.
Actual Results:
Described above
Expected Results:
I don't know. I was reading the docs to tell me how to get rid of the "home" and
"bookmarks" items from my personal toolbar by the docs were incorrect and I
don't know what it should have said. :-)

I did find the settings there in the Navigator item itself. So the only part of
the docs that are wrong with regards to this was the actual location of the
Preferences menu.
By the by, all the docs are written from the view of somebody who has a
right-mouse button. Mac users typically don't. It isn't standard. So it would be
nice to also explain how to find the right-mouse features for Mac users.
Thanks,
doug

robinf and rudman don't work on Mozilla anymore. This needs to be reassigned,
and I'm not the right person because I don't have access to a mac.
Daniel: Do you know of anyone who would be appropriate to assign this to?

Keller, we need to change references to Edit menu. Based on dupe, I'm pretty
sure it's in Mozilla menu on Mac.
For Mac, option+click == right click

Daniel: So for everywhere it shows using the Edit menu to access Preferences, we
need to add "(or Mozilla menu for Mac)"? Is this correct?
Comment 7•21 years ago

In "Mail & Newsgroup Preferences" I see
1. Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
(Mac OS X) Open the Mozilla menu and choose Preferences.
(which is too long)
In "Searching on Selected Words in a Web Page" I see
Right-click and choose "Web Search for [your selected words]"
for the menu. (To right-click on Mac OS, press Ctrl and click
the mouse button.)
(I think it should be option+click. Doug, can you verify?)
In the Help file, keyboard shortcuts are refer to as XXX (YYY on Mac OS). Let's
keep it consistent and put (Mozilla menu on Mac OS)

If nobody minds, I can take this. I would suggest the following change:
Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences --> Open the Edit menu (Mozilla menu
on Mac OS X) and choose Preferences.
It seems that the Preferences are under the Edit menu in Mozilla on Mac Classic
- at least in the 1.2.1 release. So "Mac OS" doesn't sounds 100% correct.
Right-click <--> Ctrl-click.

isn't that Option+Click?

From http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/finder/:
"Putting it in context
The Action menu gives you access to contextual Finder commands based on the
current selection. Maybe you want to label files, or move items to the trash.
The Action menu also gives you a handy way to get more information about a
file. If you have a two-button mouse, you can also right-click on an item to
bring up the menu, or hold down the control key while clicking on an item with
a one-button mouse."

This patch changes all the references to the Edit menu in the xhtml files in
mozilla/extensions/help/resources/locale/en-US/: "Open the Edit menu and choose
Preferences" becomes "Open the Edit menu (Mozilla menu on Mac OS X) and choose
Preferences" etc.
I'm not sure that "Mozilla menu on Mac OS X" is the best option, but at least
it's short...
I also found two references to "Netscape" in certs_help.xhtml, which I replaced
with "Mozilla".
The reference to the Edit menu in the Quicklaunch section in nav_help.xhtml is
not changed, since it's windows (and Linux?)-only. That could probably be added
to bug 111484.
I do wonder if changing the xhtml files is enough, I suspect there are some
html files that are still in use (there are plenty of links to html files in
the xhtml files...). Would appreciate if someone informed me which files that
are used.
I don't know if composer_help.xhtml should be altered now. There seem to be a
patch in bug 95770, attachment 88 [details] [diff] [review] that should (?) be checked in.

Forget this - it actually says that Quick Launch is windows-only...

Yes, something probably happened when the patch

was checked in. Looks like the changes since version 1.15 isn't included. Hmm.

Made a diff with composer_help.xhtml on my hard disk. The file in the en-US
directory the 1.14 revision converted to xhtml. This patch should fix all
regressions. Hmm, wonder what happened?

not the correct version.

I'm too used to the 80 char width rule (and my own indentation). But I changed
it back - not really nice when you're just changing a few lines.

This is an issue in all the help files. The thing is that in Mac OS classic the
preferences is in the "Edit" menu, but in Mac OS X the preferences is in the
"Mozilla" menu. That's why the references to Mac OS X where added in the first
place. But I suggest we fix all these references in a separate bug instead or
when the content of the files are updated.

Neil, I can fix the Mac stuff in bug 111484 (or when I update a specific help
file). I'll hide/show the platform-specific references to the preferences in all
the files at the same time. Just so we don't end up with some files not altered.
