569795 - Home browser "Done" button needs to be reworded

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

The "Done" button in the Firefox Home browser is not intuitive and properly worded.  It sounds like you're asking someone who is done with the application.  Instead, you should have something like "FF Home" or "Return" or something more that is more intuitive that its returning to the user's Home account.

Disagree. I'm pretty sure this is the recommended wording for this function in the Apple HIG specs, and it's exactly what other embedded viewers do in other apps.

I think our use of non-standard widgets might make this more ambiguous, though.

I was referencing the new twitter for iphone app, and when you open a url there, it has the "Tweet" button there in replacing of Return.  Maybe use "Home" instead since it matches our app branding?   

If you do the same with Tweetdeck, it has "Back".  

The word "Done" just seems like i'm completed with the app, and not the actual browsing experience.

The embedded Quicktime player I think is the archetypal example.

Both Tweetdeck and Twitter (nee Tweetie) use the standard 'back button' widget, however. QT doesn't, curiously.

Twitterific also uses 'Done', without the arrow-shaped back button.

[Dan Walkowski]

is now back-pointing button with the word 'Done'.  This is how it will ship for 1.0
