283193 - Please add a Tools Menu to Camino like FireFox's

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244890

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041201 Camino/0.8.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041201 Camino/0.8.2

I have tried out FireFox and have found that the tools are the best part of the
browser, especially the extentions, which I find can add greatly to the browsers
functionality. Other then that I prefer Camino. Can you add the tools drop down
menu so that extentions can be developed for Camino? Then maybe FireFox's
extentions can be ported to Camino. Bug 244890 shows that it is at least
possible for a subset of the FireFox's extensions.




Reproducible: Always

Since the things in the tools menu of Firefox don't exist in Camino, what would
be put in a Tool menu?

Bug 244890 says that FlashBlock works in Camino. That would be a start. Then
there  is a bunch of stuff in the Camino Extra Prefs, like AdBlock, that could
be added. From there others could port the FireFox and Mozilla stuff that can be
adapted. Then maybe someone would start writting original stuff for Camino. But
it probably will never start happeneing unless the Tools menu is added first.

If you want a way to install extensions, that would be part of bug 244890 and
this would be a dup.

Comment 5

[Mark Leverson]

Bug 244890 Is asking to support the extentions. This is asking for a menu, a
place to start hooking the extensions to. It looks like things have pretty much
stalled on the other bug for lack of an easy way to install the extentions.

Comment 6

[L. H.]

Having a way to install them is part of supporting them.  Since the extensions
that bug is about already work when installed manually the only support left is
a way to install them, so that is what that bug is about.

This is a dup of bug 244890.
