PFF Usability

PerformancingAds
Submitted by bentrem on December 28, 2005 - 7:17pm in

Right off the bat I have to say I'm impressed with P/FF's design ... very elegant ... makes me want to get back into XUL.

But, also right off the bat I have to quibble with usability. F8 is handy, clicking the "pencil icon" is handy ... and neither blog the page title and URL. To do /that/ I have to right click / select / click ... either on the page or on the icon.

1st, since F8 is there to call up the editor starkly, and since a rightclick menu item could be added to call it up in stark mode, I suggest that clicking the icon should blog the present page.

2nd, in the spirit of Web2.0, I think that sort of functionality should be configurable; since I care, I'm willing to go through to maybe a 3rd or even 4th level of menu ... once ... to have the default behaviour match (for example) the del.icio.us button and blogger.com bookmarklet I click to tag and blog.

cheers
ben

p.s. thanks for this
