Order of domain entries

Post by NesteaZen »

Doesn't someone think this is a little bit confusing?

If I am thinking correctly, they show up depending on the order in which they are "parsed" through the page as its loaded, so that makes sense to me just fine. What's exactly the problem with it?

There isn't anything wrong per se, it's just that one would expect the second-level domain to be first then their subdomains. Like it has been.
The alternative for me is Ctrl+Shift+S. Please don't change that though..
I only wanted to ask why it has been like this since a few versions ago.

edit: I didn't ask why imdb.com is before google-analytics.com. I asked why www.imdb.com is before imdb.com.

Probably you're right.
The "dumbest" choice (the one which "just works" in most cases) should be the nearest to the pointer.
So I guess a better order would be:
  1. Allow domain.com
  2. Temporarily allow domain.com
  3. Allow full.domain.com
  4. Temporarily allow full.domain.com
(or vice-versa if the icon is on the bottom add-on bar)

Yes, Giorgio. This is what I meant.
Did you change this on purpose or is this a small bug?

Neither. A lot of things have been changed in order to have a single menu populated differently depending on the position of the icon, and this aspect just got overlooked.

Alright. Glad to hear it.

Ah, I see. The status bar icon shows it correctly too. I don't use it because my tabs are on the bottom and i have Tab Mix Plus set to hover over tabs to select them. Anyway, good it will be fixed.
