Part of the Australis UI update is to retire the Firefox button in preference of the menu button which will be at the end of the nav-bar. This is similar to bug 840697, but this is not a UX-only work. This is for eventual landing on m-c.

This does the job on Windows. Haven't tried Linux yet.
Comment on attachment 739699 [details] [diff] [review] WIP Patch 1 Not sure if you're the right one to look at this Gavin, but am I hitting all of the right spots here to remove this? Anything big I'm missing?

Comment on attachment 739699 [details] [diff] [review] WIP Patch 1 Or Jared? Is there anything big I'm forgetting here? Or should I just go ahead and request review?

Comment on attachment 739699 [details] [diff] [review] WIP Patch 1 Sorry for the delayed response - I don't really have any recollection of any tricky bits related to the Firefox button that might not be covered by this, and haven't had the time to dig in and look into it in detail. Also this patch doesn't apply on m-c (I guess it's against UX?), and I don't have a local UX tree handy.

Adding addon-compat since extensions and themes will need to be updated to reflect the fact that the appmenu will be removed.

All I miss from this new UI is movable "new menu button". I would prefer it to be on the left side, as Firefox menu was by default. Could you make it possible to drag it and move as other objects in customization mode?
