861114 - [UX] Rarely-used Image actions should move to a sub menu.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Description

[t8av]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0
Build ID: 20130409194949

Steps to reproduce:

I was trying to save an image to my computer.


Actual results:

Too many options made me confused and I clicked "Email image" or  "Set as desktop background" instead.


Expected results:

Actions "Set as desktop background" and "Email image" are rarely or never used, so they should be moved to a sub menu "more image actions".

I open this bug/enhancement as I was requested by Mardeg in:

1. This bug not fixed yet.

2. Did anyone check how many people use "Email image.."? I am sure that no more than 10 people world-wide (per year). Now-days there are millions of ways to upload images, so we do not need this option/action.

3. Did anyone check how many people use "Set as desktop background"? It is not the job of Firefox to set desktop background. You can use windows setup to do that.

Do we have any instrumentation on those actions? It would be good to know which items are affected and how frequently they are being used before moving them.

We may have some test pilot data.

I can suggest two ways to check:

1. Make an online survey. You can ask questions such as: how many years ago, did you last use "Email image..." and "set as desktop background"?

2. You can also take it as a personal project, and try to locate people who use these options. If you can find more than five (worldwide) then you are lucky.
