It would even be possible to automatically unify both buttons when they're right next to one another and keep them separated when that's not the case (as seen in Flock, although their buttons don't behave differently in both cases). --[[User:Zeniko|zeniko]] 05:44, 21 Mar 2006 (PST)

==Firefox menus: move 'Page Info' from 'Tools' to 'View' menu==
There is one little change I think should be made to the Firefox menus (as seen in FF 1.5.0.4): move the 'Page Info' entry from the 'Tools' menu to the 'View' menu, below and next to the 'Page Source' entry.
Why? Because that would group two current-page related functions together.  In fact, these two functions are already grouped together on the right-click context menu, so grouping them in the main menus is not a far stretch.
(This can currently be accomplished via the Menu Editor extension from http://menueditor.mozdev.org/ ). --[[User:Hkazemi|Hkazemi]] 15:22, 28 June 2006 (PDT)
==Opinions on the Home and Go buttons==
I think the 'Home' toolbar icon should stay where it has always been...next to the 'Stop' icon.  I think the 'Go' button should also be maintained as the default.  Both the 'Home' and the 'Go' buttons are familiar to non-savvy users coming from IE, and in particular I've seen these level of users use the Go button instead of hitting the Enter key.  The Home button proposal is something that was also discussed at http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?p=1190740 .  It appears a fair number of Firefox users in that forum do use the Home button (including myself). --[[User:Hkazemi|Hkazemi]] 15:22, 28 June 2006 (PDT)
