Scott Bergun switches to Firefox

Scott Bergun worked on IE 1.0 thru 5.0, and was one of the people that designed much of its UI.

Good read, and interesting comments (a reply from Ben too).

Edit: uh, yeah, it's meant to be Scott Berkun. My apologies.

Edit2: Arr, and forgot to add source: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archive...to_firefox.html

Asa's blog has some more comments from Berkun, he seems like a really cool guy.

very nice read and I agree with a lot of what he has to say about the UI in Firefox and things that can be improved. The thing he mentions that I agree with most is the go menu item.

The Go menu was probably inherited from NSCP/mozilla, but it really should be put out to pasture

It is indeed time to ditch this item. Fact I use a userchrome.css edit to remove my go meau item. Here is the code:

/* Remove the Go and Help menus
   (These are just examples. Try changing "Go" to "Edit" or "Bookmarks") */
menu[label="Go"] {
   display: none !important;
}

You may notice I removed the part that took out the help menu item, but it's easy to add back. I just found I needed the help menu more then I thought I would. And the automatic update feature for Firefox 1.5 is in this menu. You can add any of the menu items where GO is above and it will remove them. Even Asa said "I wouldn't have a problem with that :)" about this suggestion.

Nice read thanks for the info..
