Menu cleanup principles
Another alternative could be to name this menu “Firefox”
- New Window
- Private Browsing (in New Window)
- Open File
- History
- (Recent History)
- (Clear Recent History — clarify, potentially include cookie/cache words)
- Menu Bar
- Bookmarks toolbar
- Status Bar
- Sidebar
- Downloads
- Add-ons
- About Firefox
- Check for Updates (moved to About dialog)
- Options
- Exit
- Cut
- Copy
- Paste
- Select All
- Undo
- Redo
- Find
- Zoom → Zoom In, Zoom Out, Zoom Reset, Zoom Text Only — we might make this not have submenus, but be rendered directly.
- Full screen
- Save…
- Print…
- Page Setup
- Print Preview
- Developer (submenu) — we might make this be only contextual, not sure yet.
Removed & relocated
These are removed from the new menu setup, they remain if you enable the menu bar again (also on Mac/Linux):
- File → Close Window — already in the UI
- File → Close Tab — already in the UI
- File → New Tab — already in the UI
- File → Save Frame As — is already in the context menu
- File → Open Location — already in the UI
- View → Reload — already in the UI
- View → Stop — already in the UI
- History → Back
- History → Forward
- History → Home
These are removed or relocated, no matter what settings/platform:
- File → Import — will only exist in the Bookmarks window
- Bookmarks → Subscribe to this page — already in the UI
- Tools → Web Search — already in the UI
- Edit → Find Again — already in the Find bar
- Edit → Select All — already in the contextual menu
- Edit → Delete — has a key ;)
- File → Send link — put in the URL bar — happy to put this back in the Pages menu, call it Share
- File → Work offline — no longer necessary, since it now autodetects whether we're online/offline
Developer submenu
- Character Encoding
- Page Style
- Page Info
- Page Source
- Error Console
Bookmarks toolbar menu
- Bookmark This Page
- Organize Bookmarks
- Bookmark All Tabs
Tab history pulldown adds the following:
- Recently Closed Tabs
- Recently Closed Windows
Help — current thinking is to put this on the bookmarks toolbar, since it loads web pages, and move About to the Tools menu along with Check for Updates.
- Help Contents
- For Internet Explorer Users
- Report Web Forgery
- Report Broken Web Site
- Release Notes
