I updated the bug description and this patch since the other issues mentioned earlier have been fixed in Ubuntu's Firefox 56.
** Description changed: Right-click on Firefox in Unity's Dash (the strip on the left side of the screen). There are two custom Actions: "Open a New Window" and "Open a New Private Window". I propose that the "Open a " prefix be dropped. This provides greater consistency with other apps which just use "New Window" or "New Document" Actions. Examples include epiphany-browser, gedit, LibreOffice and Nautilus. - In GNOME Shell, Actions show in the Activities Overview. GNOME Shell - includes a default "New Window" action. So in GNOME Shell, the actions - shown include the duplicate "New Window" and "Open a New Window". (Note - that an explicit "New Window" shortcut does not duplicate the default - "New Window" in GNOME Shell as long as the action is named new-window.) - - Also, you can drop the OnlyShowIn=Unity; from the Actions since Actions - are supported in other desktops (GNOME Shell currently ignores that - anyway). + It also provides greater consistency with Firefox's own menus which have + those 2 actions withou the "Open a" prefix. See bug 1668730 for chromium-browser and bug 1668699 for webbrowser-app. ** Patch removed: "firefox-actions-lp1668664.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1668664/+attachment/4828318/+files/firefox-actions-lp1668664.diff ** Patch added: "firefox-actions-lp1668664.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1668664/+attachment/4961757/+files/firefox-actions-lp1668664.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668664 Title: Drop "Open a " from .desktop Actions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/1668664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
