566058 - Additional Win7 features: Jump lists, windows in Aero Peek, download progress

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 522035

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Wayne Hill (UX Intern)]

(Note: this is filed as part of the “Paper Cut” bugs — we assume that there may be multiple existing bugs on this. Please make them block this bug, and we will de-dupe if they are indeed exactly the same. Thanks!)

Recommendation:
- Windows 7 Jump Lists
- Don't list tabs in Aero Peek, windows are more useful, but list tabs if there's only one window?
- Opera does a better job on Windows than we do ;)

would not this explicitly go against the OS consistency? all browsers supporting aero peek in Windows are showing tabs, and the OS browser shows tabs. Would be better to find an effective way to distinguish and visually group tabs (there is a bug about this).

Apart that, I don't see anything in that Opera page that Minefield does not currently have (apart the glass titlebar that was tried and had regressions)

[Alex Faaborg [:faaborg] (Firefox UX)]

Current tab set and links to the other tab sets/windows after that would probably be ideal, but that approach implies the landing of TabCandy.

We already have support for Jump Lists on Trunk. (bug 518666)
