You’re right. I think we’d have to find a way to better modularize this option. I forgot that the “new tab” control was removable. > Any reason option 1 can't have "sync", instead of just "refresh synced tabs" > at the bottom, then combine them into one button? If I understand what you’re saying correctly, we have combined them. We’d replace the standalone “Sync” button with this option. > The existing sync button doesn't really seem to serve much purpose, as the > browser synchronizes pretty frequently anyway. This is hotly debated here. I think it’s frequent enough for passwords, and bookmarks, but not frequently enough for tabs (which would ideally have no latency at all). The backend requires much work to achieve this. - - - - - 8< - - - - - - - On Mar 13, 2014, at 2:12 PM, Mark Hammond <[email protected]> wrote: > * Tight integration with about:newtab - this page could have some UI that > allows you to see tabs from other devices - eg, above or below the tab > thumbnails some element saying, eg, "Tabs from other devices" that expands > into the list of tabs as shown in your other slides. Yes! I will make sure the Firefox UX team keeps this in mind. > * Tight integration with the awesomebar - as you start typing in the > awesomebar it could explicitly callout tabs that match the current search and > which are open on other devices.

I need to do a row decoration much like “Switch to tab” for this. - - - - - 8< - - - - - - - On Mar 13, 2014, at 3:53 PM, Richard Newman <[email protected]> wrote: > Bear in mind that a number of tabs-altering add-ons (e.g., Vertical Tabs) > eliminate the spillover menu Noted! > And probably a lot of users don't even know that it exists (after all, modern > UIs are chock full of arrows pointing in various directions). I would imagine that in the context of being snapped to the tabs, putting the features under a downward arrow discoverable and sensible.

So the two options I presented are now started to come together more. Option 1 is just synced tabs, the question is, what to include in Option 2? - - - - - 8< - - - - - - - On Mar 13, 2014, at 2:35 PM, Eric Le Lay <[email protected]> wrote: > In option 1, groups and windows could appear as subdivisions of > locations, in turn containing the tabs. > I don't see how to show groups and windows in option 2. > The mega menu could subdivide tabs on other devices. Yes multiple windows add another dimension to this we need to consider.
