Details

I know not the intent for continuing v4.x atavisms into Mozilla-based browsers, but, submitted for your visualization: The visited-URL menu that appears when one depresses and holds the "Back" or "Forward" buttons. The same, appearing when one selects the "Go" menu option. Desired: The ability to edit those URLs, insert new ones, to rearrange and to delete them. Implementation would obviously require that the menus remain extruded even after a user action/"event". To avoid newbie shock, perhaps some design would seperate the scribe menu from the static one. <Winks to the XUL crowd> ~~Implementation details: Ignore if uninterested~~ The scribe menu and static menu would differ thus: The static menu would essentially duplicate the form of 4.x's visited-URL menu. The scribe menu would display both the <Title> data of the document listed and the full URL (or perhaps, by color-coding URLs of each protocol, as HTTP/FTP/gopher, obviating the need of displaying the protocol in the menu).
Target Milestone: M14
Move to M20.
Why would anyone ever ever want this? I just don't get it. The only people I can think of who'd possibly use it would be malicious Webmasters, trying to change the menus remotely.
I think bug 39245 takes this one step further and more useable, will post color- coding-idea of this one to 39245
