215084 - Bookmarks should be available in fullscreen mode

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132187

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

When in fullscreen mode with the personal toolbar hidden and no side-bar, there
is no quick way to access bookmarks. Some easy access should be provided, e.g.
from the popup menu when right-clicking in the page.

My point is that you shouldn't have to reduce the available real-estate by
having a side bar or an extra menu bar just to give access to the bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hide personal toolbar
2. Go to fullscreen mode
3.

Actual Results:  
No way to get to bookmarks with only one click.

Expected Results:  
Suggestion: bookmarks from the popup menu.

certainly an easy way is ctrl-B.
it's one key
it doesn't use fullscreen real-estate


> Suggestion: bookmarks from the popup menu.

IMO a bookmarks menu doesn't belong on a page's context menu

OTOH, if your second choice is a bookmarks toolbar in fullscreen then it's a
non-starter too - it degrades fullscreen.

Either case ends up as is WONTFIX - or at least, I think unlikely anyone will
confirm this to NEW.
