345603 - move Clear Recent History from the Tools to the History menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

Bug 329750 moved Clear Private Data from the Tools menu to the History menu, but into the #ifdef MOZ_PLACES section. As places was disabled on the branch, bug 333930 added it back to the Tools menu for the #ifndef MOZ_PLACES case.

So the current status on the branch is this:

#ifdef MOZ_PLACES: History menu
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/browser/base/content/browser-menubar.inc&rev=1.57.2.38&mark=327,328,366-369#327

#ifndef MOZ_PLACES: Tools menu
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/browser/base/content/browser-menubar.inc&rev=1.57.2.38&mark=512,532-538#512

Should we finally move it to the History menu?

This is no longer valid.

Why is this no longer valid?  (I've got a patch that moves it, if we want…)

Thanks,
Blake.

Cool, here's a patch!  (I set Dao as the reviewer, because he's extra-thorough, and because I like him, but feel free to steal the review, if you want, Mak.)

Thanks,
Blake.

The history menu intentionally doesn't have access keys, so don't add one here and also remove clearRecentHistory.accesskey from browser.dtd.
