Also, please review the discussions of the splash screen when Firefox was first being developed - I imagine they are still relevant today. | Also, please review the discussions of the splash screen when Firefox was first being developed - I imagine they are still relevant today. | ||
== netscape/mozilla's "QuickLaunch" == | |||
Netscape implemented a feature (which was off by default in mozilla) called QuickLaunch. | |||
My memories were that: it did the launch into taskbar for Windows-only. It was really buggy, because the designers did not understand larger application-session issues (like cookies, profile switching, and mailnews). Doing this on FF should be easier because it is browser-only, and the architecture is more mature (in those days, we couldn't switch-profile in a session, the way Seamonkey does now...) | |||
Even if you don't use the code, you could probably get a lot of useful design lessons and test cases... |
