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
