Pointing an end-user off to an obscure snippet of what looks to be an IRC log vaguely related to Ubuntu does nothing to solve the issue at hand.
"and same branding would make them indistinguishable on your desktop" huh? I've had no problem running "Firefox 2 Web Browser" and "Firefox Web Browser" side by side - they aren't indistinguisable - I just check the menu entry or the About Firefox entry. You'll probably also find that the people running multiple Firefox versions side-by-side tend to know what they are doing and are able to distinguish between versions quickly. Renaming a really well known product has actually caused more problems. Try finding Firefox 3.5 in Krunner or Kickoff. Try telling someone to "Open Firefox 3.5" in Ubuntu - see what the result is. Nada. You have to search for "browser" or "preview browser" or "Shiretoko" (if you know what the new name is). Would be interesting to see some user testing results from the design decision behind this. -- Usability: Rename Shiretoko to firefox 3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
