User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101201 Firefox-4.0/4.0b8pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101201 Firefox-4.0/4.0b8pre

When you click the Firefox App Button, two menus appear: one by the left and an other by the right.


When I go from clicking Minefield to clicking bookmarks or mousing over the bookmarks arrow or clicking history or mousing over the history arrow, I mouse over the new tab arrow and the new tab menu appears on top of what I want.


The left and right menus have different horizontal sizes, so if you put one on top of the other, they'll keep looking different.

Personally, I would put the right menu on top, because it's small vertically, so no big distance to New Tab and new Add-ons can use the Add-ons arrow.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pretend you want to get to the bookmarks or the history
2. mouse the pointer to Minefield
3. click
4. mouse the pointer to Bookmarks or History or the Bookmarks arrow or the History arrow
Actual Results:  
The new tab menu popsup and makes me remember popups.

Expected Results:  
I get to my Bookmarks or my History.

I have just installed Chrome 8. They're using only one button too. If you want, you can innovate based in their button.

Thanks, people!!! (In Minefield Beta 9 pre, there's a small delay to opening the bookmarks and history menus.)

Hi,

I'm marking this ticket as Resolved - WFM it looks like this is an outdated issue and the reporter is no longer active.

Thanks,
