Firefox/Feature Brainstorming:User Interface

Variable Sized fonts in the Menu Bar

• This would be useful for people with poor eye-sight or who use high resolutions (causing the menu fonts to be too small)

Easily Edit Right Click Menu

• Right click menu becomes cluttered with options after installing extensions.
• Being able to move options around and creating groups would be useful.
• User should be able to indicate in which context these groups should be visible

Floating tool bars

• Allow all tool bars to be detached and float (like the tool bars in GIMP). They could then be tiled, overlapped, stacked or moved to any convenient location.
  • This is not necessarily good. It may confuse users, and I have never felt the need for such a feature. Of course move them to the bottom for example, but not floating. --Eproxus 05:54, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

Reorganize and Simplify Options

• With new features, the Options preferences have now become cluttered and difficult to use.
  • For example, proxy settings is now under "Advanced->Network->Settings". No setting should be deeper than two levels.
• The Advanced Tab should be removed. What's considered advanced? There's no way to tell without having to look. All settings should be in their appropriate categories so the user can easily find what they're looking for.
  • For example, "Encryption" should be under "Security" (perhaps under a "Settings" submenu). The "Languages" setting should be under "Content" not "Advanced->General".
• In general, the whole Options menu should be reorganized and reviewed for simplicity of use.
