Build ID: 1999092208 Platform: Windows NT, Linux To reproduce: - Launch apprunner - Click File to drop down the File menu Result: Close is now somewhere towards the top of the menu and not directly above Exit Expected result: Close should always be just about Exit.

can't really tell who is working on this. Give it to don.

On the mac close does not go down by exit so make sure this doesn't break when this bug is fixed.

Newer Windows apps put close at the top of the File menu (below Open). I believe this is where is should be in Mozilla.

good point, michael. in office 2000 it's file | new, open, close - close is not directly above exit.
I like this behaviour since it makes it harder to accidentally Exit when you meant to close.

you guys already pointed out the expected merits of this design. This item is actually closer in connotative meaning to Save than it is to exit so that's why it was decided that it goes there.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Marking as verified, but if Close shows up at any position other than the penultimate or between Open and Save, I'll reopen. :)
