But most users probably never need to even use it. I think moving options behind yet another menu, is a natural progression especially on mobile devices where limited physical screen size and fat fingers create numerous problems, but as a desktop user for me personally, it creates an unnecessary extra click. So it depends how you work and what you work on, and I guess lots of other factors. – the audience/impact: the vast majority of users being those that do almost no changes: i.e you design for the majority, not necessarily the small % of tweakers (but don’t actually remove the feature) – complexity: i.e keeping it simpler for the end-user (most users would never use it?) and less clutter (esp on mobile where real estate is key?) – usability: it depends on the the end-user I guess: we all work in different ways – unification/simplification of code: desktop vs mobile/physically smaller screens+fat fingers: saves time & resources (but has pros and cons) Since XUL is being removed, and certain elements/pages need to be redesigned as a consequence, it is also a chance to meet goals. Sigh…)įirst of all, I am not a UX expert. (Why did I wrote all this? They’ll never listen. Sooner than later, the toggle will be retired and the new behavior (again, little different from the previous) will be the only one adapting isn’t that hard. “Mozilla plans to launch a redesigned Add-ons Manager in Firefox 68 that does away with older technologies that Mozilla used in the past in Firefox.” Strike two: reverting to the previous layout and handling (which is little different from the new) is but a temporary measure as the second paragraph of this article reads: If you want to actually disable the latter it is which should be set to false, which will revert to the previous layout and handling (reverting to the ones pre-f圆4 is much more involved, not for the faint of heart, if possible at all nowadays). Strike one: setting to false only stops showing a “Recommended” section inside the Extensions (“Manage Your Extensions”) and Themes (“Manage Your Themes”) tabs, with the layout and handling remaining the same.
