Great! Now how to import Passwords from Firefox?
Authored by: alexmathew on May 18, '05 11:37:10AM

Taboo has removed one of the last reasons I use Firefox. There is one more - which is the "Click and Hold on a Link to pop-up contextual menu" in Firefox - in Safari, I need to Ctrl-Click (two hands!!).

Also, is there any way to import Firefox site username passwords into Safari?

Thanks

Why should Safari introduce contextual menu behavior that is inconsistent with the rest of the OS?

Please, don't mention the Dock. Just because the Dock does it doesn't make it right.

The above question is along the same lines as "Why should Mail introduce interfaces that are unique only to Mail?" and "Why should some apps quit when you close the app's last window, and some apps not?". Oh wait, that's already happened...

Apple recommends in their human interface guidelines that applications that have one main window (eg, Calculator, System Preferences) quit when that window closes and applications that can have multiple windows or can create new windows for data (eg, Mail, TextEdit, Safari) shouldn't automatically quit.

Click and Hold...Fruitmenu

Yes, I know Click and Hold will make it inconsistent - but if you use a portable, you probably know how useful this feature would be. I use Fruitmenu to get Click and Hold in the Finder - but it does not work in Safari.

That's what I like to call a $15 feature. Go buy a $15 kensington usb 2-button mouse, then right-click to your heart's content... (doesn't have to be kensington, any usb mouse will do, you might even find 'em under $10)

You DO know that Powerbooks/iBooks CAN be used off the table/desk? I can barely fit my laptop - leave alone a mouse. Did you also know that Portable sales of Apple have grown faster than desktop sales?
