291348 - Menu Cleanup

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Description

[u88484]

I'm suggesting moving 'Web Search' from the Tools->Go menu, 'Check for updates'
to the top of the tools menu, and remove 'Sanitize Firefox' from the tools menu
and create a button for it. I really don't think there should even be a menu
entry for it in the first place since there are plenty of options to not
sanitize, or sanitize on close.

IMO, Page Info should be moved to the View menu. It's hardly a tool, and  "View
Page Info" makes a lot more sense. It should go below Page Source in my opinion,
like it is in the context menu.

Web Search (as a menuitem) is useless in my opinion.

That would make it a bit better.

I'm all in favour of a cleanup.
It's an ugly long list.

No menu bloat.

After seeing this pic I agree that the mail options need to be removed alos.
There is a button for this already so why have these entries especially when
the windows xp bug with registering default email clients prevents this from
working correctly on most computers.

Please comment as much as possible in the mozillazine discussion thread I
started earlier today, Bugzilla isn't intended for debate:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=256103

Can someone also add the URL to the bug please? I'm not "sufficiently empowered"
;) Also: Bug 291800 should probably be duped to this or vice versa.

Well in my opinion is Web Search useless. I click on it and nothing happens.
Well after many times clicking i saw that the focus was given to "search box".

Read mail and New mail is also a question imo.

Page info should maybe be in File menu?!

> Well in my opinion

As I mentioned in comment 6, please keep discussion in the forum and not in
Bugzilla.

A lot of other programs have 'Check for updates' under the Help menu.

This is not a bug but a design issue. We'll file a bug when we've finalized any
changed designs. The practical value of holding this bug open is slim and the
potential for this bug being a spammy, problematic, and unpleasant back and
forth is high so I'm resolving it but that doesn't mean that we're not going to
improve our menus (or unregress them).
