...cos people will think it means, "quit bookmarks" and get annoyed when it quits the browser. "Quit should be available from main windows only like Mail, Browser, Composer, IMHO.

Just to be clear, I mean the "manage bookmarks" window

Adding myself to the CC. I see it too and it seems more like a bug. Thus, the severity should be changed to Minor or Normal, too.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 39057 ***

I don't think this is a dup? Seems several in 39057 vent the idea about an RFE about removing "Quit" completely from various places. IMO: this is exactly that RFE, and NOT a dup of "File > Quit in Bookmarks/History/etc windows needs to specify quitting entire app"

then its wontfix; every window is going to have the quit item so the user can quit the app from anywhere.

I marked this a dup of 39057 because since the decision to keep Quit has already been made, this bug would just turn into the same discussion as 39057 (what to name the item, where to position it, etc.).

Well, I have read 39057 and it did indeed end up in an argument about where Close and Quit should be. But I don't think that is relevant, because my point was that there should not be a "quit" option in the "manage bookmarks" window at all. It is like having a "quit" option in a Print dialog, or the "edit preferences" window; or having a button on the car radio which turns the car off (excuse my similes). These are obviously subsidiary functions. If you are in the middle of managing bookmarks, the obvious way to quit is to click quit from the main window, or close it. Regardless of what Macintosh says or Windows does, the fact is that if you have "quit" there, people will think it means "quit the window", not the whole app, and having it there does not add value even if you do know what it does. (Poll: when did you last use that window to exit Moz?)

None of the changes you just did made any sense; changing back. The point is that every window is going to have a Quit item to ensure consistency and enhance functionality. If you want, I'll dig up the bug in which that decision was made.

my apologies - browsing in konqueror which obviously isn't handling the bugzilla forms too well ;-). Didn't mean to change anything but just to add a comment. Feel free to point me to the discussion, but my initial response is: (1) point of consistency is to not confuse the user. Noone will be confused by not having a "quit" menu item in the manage bookmarks window. some people will be confused and think the "quit" item means, quit manage bookmarks. (2) functionality enhancement is minimal. functionality is only enhanced when user is in middle of managing bookmarks and suddenly wants to quit (rare), and when user can't get at main window file menu to quit from there (rarer). Furthermore, gain in functionality is "one click less" - no need to minimize or hide bookmarks window - whereas potential loss is "lose Mozilla in the middle of something". Hope this time everything gets left as it ought.

this decision has been made. VERIFYING WONTFIX. The hope is that is you have a 'close' and a 'quit' right next ot each other you'll learn/recognize the difference btw the two

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement. They have the same meaning.

*** Bug 200927 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Ok can the Quit button be MOVED so that in the File menu there's: New Quit --- Close ??? It's a very bad UI design choice to have quit from anywhere in the application. I'd very much like to know what decided that it's good to be able to quit an appliction from a window that isn't percived as a main window?
