Move home screen 3 dot menu to bottom #561
Comments
@vesta0 here's a design for moving the 3-dot menu and private mode to the bottom and also restructuring the home and site menus so that they align and people can rely on motor memory – access to history and bookmarks is also added as shortcut to the home screen menu (bottom row). I discussed this with @shorlander and we feel moderately confident about it and would love to monitor how it performs in the beta |
@topotropic I like it -- had a question/feedback though -- why can't we also have the addressbar in the usual place instead of the whitespace between the mask and the new tab buttons? If the addresbar was there, the user could simply open a new tab by typing instead of tapping the search or enter address input towards the top of the screen. There is prior art for this in desktop -- open a private browsing window on desktop, and the address bar is present along with the search box in the viewport. |
@topotropic love the new design. Do we also want to move the Fenix logo higher (too much white space at top and make it smaller to make more room for tab visibility? |
Love the new design, makes more sense. Thanks I like yoasif's idea, there's now a nice space in the bottom row for the search box. Advantages (I can file a separate issue on this if you like) |
collecting homescreen related things into a single place for ux to take a look at. removing ux label. |
Launching a UR test week of 8/19, should have more insights by 8/21. |
- Removes the menu button - Fixes motionlayout animation with the wordmark/private browsing button
- Adds space between wordmark and session control component
Tapping the + symbol and tapping the address bar behave identically (new tab) I suggest:
Example |
Thanks for the feedback @nahuhh; I agree, that it seems redundant – the advantage of having the plus there is that you can quickly go from browsing the web to a new tab by tapping twice in the same area (first tab on "Tabs" button, then on plus). |
Verified as fixed in the latest Nightly build from |
on normal web content, 3 dot menu button is at bottom of screen as part of URL bar. But on Home screen 3 dot menu button is at top of screen alongside private browsing icon. I find it confusing, I have to look in 2 different places depending on browser context. Could 3 dot menu button (and private browsing button?) be at bottom of Home screen to match normal page content?
UX update:
Ok, let's move the 3-dot menu to the bottom as well as the new tab (+) icon and the search.
Would it be possible to launch that as A/B test against the current version?
