644500 - Bookmarks button missing on Firefox 4 Central guided tour under Linux

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

Attachment: screenshot

Seems that the Linux screenshot on Firefox 4 central is incorrect, and missing a bookmarks button. I'd suggest uploading a new image.

Current result:
See attached screenshot

Steps to reproduce:
a. Using a Linux browser, navigate to https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/.
b. Hover the rightmost button.
c. Text is about the bookmarks button, while the button under the text is actually the home button.

It appears that the bookmarks button may be hidden on Linux - perhaps since the normal "File/Edit/View/History/Bookmarks/..." menu is the default rather than the Firefox Button (that said, even if you hide the menu and use the Firefox button, the bookmarks button remains hidden - a bug?).

So, I think the screenshot is accurate, but the page content may have to change for Linux. CC:ing Laura Mesa to confirm.

Looking in to this--stay tuned.

I may be mixed up on this too - I see now that the bookmarks button moves down on to the Bookmarks Bar if it's showing. I'll confirm on the machine I used for the screenshots with a clean profile tomorrow AM.

I'm currently reading this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544817

I'm also going to ask horlander by email, but it looks like its not there by default--let me know if I mis-read the thread.

From an email from Stephen H:

"The bookmarks button is not on by default on Linux. It will only show up if you turn off the menubar."

Thanks for looking into that Laura. We should probably hide that Bookmarks Button feature from the page for Linux users then.
