User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 I entered the request below to bug #306453 before reading previous comments. As recommended by the developer, I am opening a new bug. I didn't see any of the numerous other bugs on this which recommended that the user have the option. -------------- Why is "menu clutter" a reason to remove a menu item? Now I have to "clutter" my system menu with my own Thunderbird button. Functionality is not necessarily "clutter". I suggest allowing the user to decide this. Couldn't a Thunderbird open button be configurable? I used the ff Email feature daily. When I upgraded to ff 2.0, I greatly missed it. This fix actually increases user menu clutter in Linux by forcing the user to add a launcher button for Thunderbird (or other client). It also increases work and worry: I've spent two hours trying to get my Email button to appear! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Invoke firefox 2. See that there is no way to get to an Email client 3. Expected Results: I expected a toolbar dropdown which gave me the choice either to read Email or to write a new Email message. I suggest adding a configuration item which allows the user to enable appearance of the Email toolbar button as it was implemented in ff 1.5. If the user decides the menu is "cluttered", then the user can remove the button and clutter his or her launcher bar with an Email button or workspace with an Email icon. Without such a configuration item, there is no workaround of which I am aware.
