Feat. Req. - Icon and listing order on context menu,
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 6:34 pm
Hey folks-
Here's a couple pretty decent feature requests, (if I do say so myself, lol)
1. Change the right context menu icon to match the add-on bar icon
Data:
The Icon on the icon bar (of FF at least), is a blue S on a white field, sometimes with a red 'no' marking or a smaller red marking
The icon on the right-click context menu is a box with a yellow arrow going into it.
I look at the add-on bar icon all the time and kind of immediately know it and find it.
The Problem: Usually I use the add on bar to change permissions. But sometimes, especially on my large monitor, it's easier to use the right click button. But I have a hard time finding the NoScript menu, because it's icon is 1. non-descript, and 2. different than what I'm 'programmed' to expect.
The desired behavior: When I right click- I can find No Script as easy as I do when scan down to the addon bar.
The suggestion: Change the icon in the R-click context menu to one of the more usual no-script icons: "s-white" - "s-white with red 'no'" or "s-with the partial red no". (I assume it's not possible to have those three icons changing each time depending on the situation. If so, THAT would be the ideal... But if not, then choosing any one of those three would be fine with me.
2: Reverse the order in which 'script listings' (I dunno the term you guys use) - are listed in the R-click context menu.
Data: When mousing over the NS icon in the addon bar, the scripts running (allowed or not) all show up in a particular order. (To me, it seems that generally, they list roughly in order of importance, at least for the particular things I'm trying to allow. (I'm pretty good at allowing just those things to get my pic, vid, survey or whatever while not allowing the rest.) Anyway...)
However, that same list, when accessed vie the RClick context menu, appears in REVERSE order.
The problem: When I'm scanning for the script I want, I automatically start at the bottom (because from the addon bar, the root level permission is listed first). However, when using the context menu, it takes me extra time to readjust and to read the list backwards from from top to bottom, not bottom to top. On 'script lists' with very very long lists, which are more and more common, this can be frustrating.
Suggestion: Make the context menu list order match the addon icon list menu order (bottom-top).
That's it!
Thanks-
