94552 - home button and bookmarks folder on personal toolbar should have context menus.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 15144

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[André Dahlqvist]

[CVS build from 2001-08-09-18]

There should be a context menu for the home and bookmarks items on the personal
toolbar. It could enable the user to hide these buttons from there instead of
having to enter the preferences.

Comment 1

[Jesse Ruderman]

Home could also have "Set home page...", which opens a dialog asking for a new
home page address, pre-filled with the current page's address.

Comment 2

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

There should also be a hide option for all default bookmarks - and doing so
should also hide the separator between Home and Bookmarks.

I want a Home button in the Navigation-Bar as well. Every single browser I know
has it there. Not because it was always there, but because this is exactly where
it belongs!  I have now use for the personal bar at all. It just wastes space. I
have all important links an my local startpage. Therefore I need a oneclick-way
to this page. Not a Go/Home or a Alt/Home -> just a click. And about the 'there
is no space issue': Let's get rid of the Go-, Search- and Print-Buttons.
For me this is a serious bug, because it's hard to use this browser at all
without a quick access to Home. But it seems noone is willing to change this in
the near future. Until then I'll stay with Netscape 4.79. It's fast and lean and
unfortunately a little bit unstable *ggg* ....

mull333, don't spam this bug with unrelated bugs. Search for that bug in
bugzilla, and if you can't find it then report it as an enhancement request.

Comment 5

[André Dahlqvist]

Just for the record, that is bug 89350.

Comment 6

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

BTW - mull333: as a quick fix, you can add your home page to the bookmarks.

Comment 8

[Jonas Jørgensen]

This bug, requesting context menus on the Home and Bookmark buttons be able to
remove them, is a subset of bug 15144 which is about providing a way to
customize all toolbars. Marking dupe.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 15144 ***

Comment 9

[André Dahlqvist]

Absolutely not a duplicate. That bug is about rearranging the toolbars and such,
and this is specifically about what should happen when you right-click on these
items.

Comment 10

[Jonas Jørgensen]

That bug requests the ability to add and remove any toolbar button, probably
through a context menu. This bug requests the ability to add and remove *two
specific toolbar buttons* through a context menu. Please explain again why this
is not a dupe.

Comment 11

[André Dahlqvist]

To add/remove these buttons was just one suggestion of the context menu. Comment
#1 describes another use, and there are probably plenty others.

Comment 12

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Bug 15144, though similiar, is not a dupe of this one. A bug should not be 
marked as a dupe of another bug if it is similiar but not identical. If the 
other bug is so general that it somewhere covers the aspect of another bug 
through, say, a series of comments - then those issues should be broken off if 
they don't exist or mentioned as existing in a certain bug. Remember: One issue 
per bug. This bug isn't identical to bug 15144 and should either be marked 
WONTFIX, INVALID or should be accepted by a developer or [e-mail].

[Vidar Haarr (not reading bugmail)]

FYI: There are now contextmenus on PT items - except the home button, which I
think should be treated as a regular PT-link when it comes to context-menus.

Comment 14

[Blake Ross]

Reassigning obsolete bugs to their respective Seamonkey owners (i.e. nobody). 
If you want this fixed for Firefox, change the Product and Component accordingly
and reassign back to me.

Filter "spam" on "guifeatures-nobody-20080610".

Fixed by toolbar customization.
