655698 - Reorder the help menu to group similar items closer together

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

Attachment: Proposed fix

Currently our help menu has quite a jumbled list of items.

I think we should just re-order it slightly to better group things together. The patch attached does what I think we should end up with:

First group is support related things:

- Help
- What's New
- Release Notes
- Troubleshooting Information

Second group (after an added separator) are action related help items:

- Migration Assistant
- Restart with add-ons disabled.

I think this helps to bring a bit of structure back to the menu.

I've currently got builds running on try server as I've only verified this on Mac so far.

I think we should move "Troubleshooting Information" up above "What's New" because it will likely be more useful more of the time, but other than that, I agree that the new menu is a lot cleaner.  ui-r=me.

And, other than the suggestion below, I like the patch.  r=me.

If we're making this change, we might as well split this onto two lines to make it like the one above, and get it to fit into 80 characters.
