344158 - popup blocker - preference for small notification icon in status bar instead of popup notification bar (a la Firefox)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 333531

(Camino Graveyard :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Camino/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Camino/1.0+

At the moment in Camino when a popup is blocked, we get the popup blocker notification bar below the tab bar.  While I think this makes perfect sense as the default preference, I would love to see a preference that mirrors the functionality in Firefox where you can specify that the only notification you get is a small icon in the status bar at the bottom of the window that has a contextual menu for Unblock and Configure.  I'm not sure whether it was a design choice for it to be this way or what, but I would be very happy to see this happen.

I did the best I could to search for an existing bug like this, but I couldn't find one, so here it is.  I will be happy to clarify what I mean if needed.

Thanks.

Don't fret it.  I wasn't crying because it was a dupe, but rather because it's necessary in the first place (notice who filed the bug I just duped it to) ;)

I thought I had done a pretty thorough search for an existing bug, but I searched for "popup" and not "pop up"... so it wasn't quite as thorough as I should have been. 

I have since voted for the original, so hopefully that will help.
