Sure! This bug is a bit challenge on setup environment for simulate tablet and mostly work is done by CSS, Happy hacking!


To solve this bug, You could check slides about developing FirefoxOS (gaia) to know the overall develop flow first
http://www.slideshare.net/gasolin/develop-firefox-os1-28348187

then you need to setup some environment to solve this bug:

1. fork gaia from github, clone your gaia repository to local machine
2. run gaia with nightly browser
3. change the responsive view size to '1312x831'
(Scale nighly browser to 1312x831, which fix the correct mapping to 1280x768)

Then you have everything setup to solve this bug.


Please frequently post on bugzilla and let me know which steps you are currently on, so I can help you on time :)

Wow, it's a good start.

To fix this bug, seach gaia/apps/system to find where the activity menu located in
(hint: always check index.html first)

Once you find it, try to change something on activity menu and make sure it's the right place you'd like to hack.
There are some similar UI ex: bug 928306 are landed in gaia, so you could follow the similar way to fix this bug.

After you feel done, please switch nighly browser layout to make sure the layout still works as usual in phone layout.

Sorry I made a mistake, the Activity menu(dialog) showed here is done by

* the dialog is triggered by apps/homescreen/js/homescreen.js/onContextMenu, which triggered js/wallpaper.js (since tablet does not search enabled yet)

and have complicated call path, so it's not a good first bug.


If you still interest in these kind of bug, please try bug 935820 first.

For flatfish, it's the same dialog as bug 935820.
