The itty-bitty buttons on the new Download panes are pretty clearly
wrong. Particularly for laptop users. It was right before...make it
right again. That seems like common sense, to me.
I may have the team at a disadvantage because I DO evaluate human
interfaces for software for a living, but my comments still stand - and
I hope those whom are coding are listening...to ALL of us whom are not
pleased. I have a growing list of gripes I plan to submit formal bug
reports against.
A real professional qualified UX person! This is great! Rufus could you
do us a great favour and read the comments in
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513691>
(Sanitize redesigned download progress window)
And then write up a cogent summary of why the mini buttons are wrong,
wrong, wrong. Almost all the SeaMonkey developers are actually against
the mini buttons. The only person in favour of the mini buttons is,
unfortunately, KaiRo, the project co-ordinator.
Will do! Gladly.
Until now all we have is 100% negative feedback from our users
(dismissed by KaiRo as "I'm right, everyone else is wrong") and
anecdotal evidence from the other developers.
Now if a professional human interfaces person like you could come up
with some authoritative statement (and the reasoning) about the
undesirability of the mini buttons. I'm sure all of us will thank you.

What I do is test and evaluate software implementations and crew
interfaces for aircraft - you screw up, you risk killing people...hope
that's enough 'cread for 'em...
What it seems like is that the developers are only working on one
machine at a time, at one display resolution, and/or not communicating
with each other - which is also what can happen where I work, and why
I'm not shy about feedback.
