969295 - Disappearance of the Firefox button makes it difficult to identify the browser

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Flore Allemandou [:flore]]

When someone makes a public presentation using Firefox, it's obvious that it is Firefox (the button on top left of the window makes it easy for anyone to spot it).
Now with Australis, we have a very plain and simple window, more space for the interface and web page.
But we lose our identity! People won't recognize Firefox anymore, it won't advertise by itself.

It is very important for people giving talks or demo that their browser is clearly identifiable by the audience. The same way we usually wear branded T-shirts, we should have a branded browser.

This was discussed at length in firefox-dev, e.g. https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2013-November/001211.html .

As it is, this isn't an actionable bugreport. It's not fixable with the information that you gave.

If you feel strongly, please post to the firefox-dev mailing list (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/firefox-dev) with proposals on how to accomplish the 'branding' of the browser. If/when people agree that we need to make a change (and what kind of change), then we can file a bugreport and implement something.

Thank you for giving me an helpful link (I would not have found this list by myself). Sorry to have filed a useless bug report.
I'll check the mailing list :)
