ABP button should be changed
ABP button should be changed
It looks too much like a "Stop" button. Buttons on a tool bar should be psychologically different. I actually clicked it once when trying to stop a page from loading.
I understood for the first time what all this fuss is about when I installed
Firefox yesterday for some testing (normally, I use SeaMonkey). In FF, ABP's
icon is not located in the bookmark bar (as is the case in SM), but places
itself directly next to FF's stop button. This indeed is not the best thing to do.
Wladimir: Would it be a problem to place the ABP icon in FF's bookmark toolbar instead?

@chewey: Putting the button into the bookmarks toolbar in only a hack, it is too difficult to place it in the toolbar in SeaMonkey (theme issues). The bookmarks toolbar is likely to be invisible with the result that the user can't find the button, it doesn't appear in the customization dialog in this case. And status bar is also a bad default setting since it makes the menu difficult to find (you have to think of right-clicking the symbol instead of simply clicking the arrow). But maybe placing the icon right next to the navigation buttons was a bad idea in the first place, what would you think of putting it at the end of the navigation toolbar, after the search field? We are talking about default settings here of course, everybody is free to move the button wherever he wants it to be...
