Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.3-2
Severity: normal
Mozilla and old firefoxen used to have a separate history window for
ctrl-h.
New firefox disables this window, and puts the history in a stupid
little pane on the left hand side of the window, that can't be resized
beyond about half a screen width (similarly, ctrl-b now brings up a
bookmarks pane that is similarly too small and useless, but at least
there is an alternative available from the "bookmarks->manage
bookmarks" menu item).
The history manager is very hard to use on even normal length urls and
titles (and uesless on moderately long urls and titles), and if you
are quickly going through your history list, then you lose valuable
screen real-estate and flexibility because the pane has to be the full
height of the firefox window, and has to be to the left of the firefox
window.
Could these regressions (both bookmarks and history) please be looked
into?

Both have had separate windows accessible with other keyboard shortcuts
and menu items for a while now. (resp. Ctrl+shift+H and Ctrl+shift+O)
Closing this bug.
