<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">(This is in response to <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1clf85/firefoxs_australis_theme_may_have_disastrous/c9hpkw1"><span style=" text-decoration: underline; color:#0057ae;">this comment</span></a> .)</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">> We want to make customization better.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Making customization better != completely removing customization options. Being able to put all of the UI elements I need (and *only* the ones I need) <a href="http://i.imgur.com/stp7RbA.png"><span style=" text-decoration: underline; color:#0057ae;">on one toolbar</span></a> is pretty much the only thing that's kept me from switching browsers for the past 8 years. I can understand the desire to protect "casual" users from themselves, i.e., trying to keep them from doing something like removing the address bar. However, from a user perspective, I see no reason why this couldn't be implemented differently. Maybe make a new about:config option like "browser.chrome.fully_customizable_toolbars," which is set to "false" by default. This would prevent casual users from potentially breaking the browser, while still allowing the type of customization that so many users have come to expect from Firefox.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Furthermore, the current ability to "break the browser" by removing critical UI elements is pretty much nullified by the "Restore Default Set" button in the "Customize Toolbar" dialog. AFAIK, it's impossible to remove the menu button (which gives easy and intuitive access to said dialog), so there's literally no way to "break" the browser in a way that it can't be easily "fixed."</p></body></html>
