Great! Now how to import Passwords from Firefox?
Authored by: fiddler on May 18, '05 11:52:51AM

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.
