mpt and I agree that people train based on location, so items in the New> submenu should be placed consistently. The File>New> Submenu should show global items before component items. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Get a build of mozilla. Run Mozilla [Component]. select File>New> Actual Results: [Address Book] File>New> Mailing List Address Book - Navigator Window Message Address Book Card Blank Page to Edit [Composer] File>New> Navigator Window Message Address Book Card Expected Results: [Address Book] File>New> Navigator Window Blank Page Message - Address Book Card Mailing List Directory {was Address Book} [Composer] File>New> Navigator Window Blank Page Message - from Template from Url Based on the current implementation, a user has to look for menu items because they are often in random locations.
Netscape nav triage team: per Alec Flett's pre-triage recommendation, this bug is nsbeta1-. German - please analyze and renominate if necessary.

Suggest wontfix. Ease of getting to the specific items far outweighs the importance of muscle memory in this case.
Suggest ignore mpt. Muscle memory matters here at least as much as in the context menus where mpt is arguing for it.
Also suggest wontfix. I don't want to pass over global items to get to the specific items I need.
reassigning.
