→What are the [Stephen] and [Page] controls? Conserve width for Location field and awesomebar text
(→Progress on tabs instead?: new section) |

I'm concerned that adding [Page] and [Tools] takes space away from the Location field. In Firefox 3.6apre1 URLs such as this wiki page already get truncated, with these changes even more of the end will be invisible. On old-school sites the end of a URL is a string of meaningless query parameters, but on good RESTful sites it's the important part of the URL, often including a meaningful position in the fragment identifier, and I want to see it! Furthermore, in current awesomebar implementation the drop-down's width is constrained by the Location field, so reducing its width makes the awesomebar less usable. Maybe if there's an "icon only" option for Page and Tools, or maybe they should default to icon-only — nothing else on this row in the UI has text except for the two input fields.-- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 21:19, 15 July 2009 (UTC) | I'm concerned that adding [Page] and [Tools] takes space away from the Location field.

--> The stephen control i believe is the mozilla weave control, that is intended to keep bookmarks, addons etc synced between computers/accounts. | |||
