pourquoi dans le portail orange - mozilla firefox - on ne nous propose
pas la nouvelle version de mozilla firefox dans les "mises à jours
disponibles" j'ai déjà la version 3.5.5 et il me semblerait qu'il y en
ait une autre d'après les actualités informatiques et high tech que je
reçois
merci

Aparently i find the problem, is the form how Fx3.6 is identified in
the register, with the same name of Fx3.5, then when the [webhome]key
try to open the default browser dont know the correct to start.
Other posible cause is the use of the menu keys [CTRL][ALT][M](webhome

I like the sketch overall and hope that keyboard accessibility is
similarly flushed out. I particularly like how some programs (WMP for
one) display the menu (in this case it would be the button dropdown)
when pressing then releasing the alt key and that sub-menus can be
accessed directly in the same way as if they were top level menus which

Just a thought, the Opera 10.10 browser has a option to remove the
menu bar and use their own app menu. I belive that it is an option in
the context menu on the menu bar. At least it was in the beta. I
haven't tested the final version. Anyway, it looked a lot like what
you where thinking about here.

...a rule true of normal menus too, of course :-)
Unless you seriously reduce the number of menu items over the total we

choices along the menu bar, you bring down the one menu, and then choose

Hmm. Why wouldn't that be possible? It's all just code :-)
Seriously, if a user pulls down a menu, that's where their focus is. Why
not use more of the screen? If the sub-menus were spatially separate
from the main menu, tied by arrows, you might avoid the cognitive burden
of having more options to choose from...
