[Maf] MenuMAF 0.5.0

[Christopher Ottley]

Hello all,

While I am technically back from my hiatus to deal with all the things 
involving my grandfather's death I'm still quite busy trying to catch up 
with commercial work that had changed schedules because of it. There has 
been quite a bit of bugzilla activity for MAF, some bugs, some 
enhancement requests. The issue with some of the enhancement requests is 
that many times it's a matter of taste and I can't please everyone. 
While it's true I could add preferences for some of the functionality I 
really don't want to make MAF too complicated for me to maintain by 
myself. It's a labor of love. :).
    I've gotten quite a bit of eMail since 0.5.0 was released over the 
removal of the items from the File menu. One of the enhancement requests 
http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9995 is tracking it and 
because it's a UI change, making it a preference and integrating it into 
MAF may break some stuff that currently works well. In a situation like 
that I'd ordinarily deny the request or give it a really low priority 
(sorry David). I keep forgetting how many people use MAF though, and I 
got a very polite eMail this morning from someone named Jesse basically 
asking for the same thing. While Jesse could only afford to offer me a 
gmail invitation for the request, I re-considered the request as Jesse 
is disabled and highlighted how difficult it is for a disabled person to 
use MAF without File menu entries or shortcut keys.
    MenuMAF is the result. It requires MAF to be installed first, but 
adds the File menu entries with shortcut keys. I just uploaded it to the 
server, so it'll take a while to propagate. It's small though so you 
should be able to get it from 
http://downloads.mozdev.org/maf/menumaf-0.5.0.xpi soon.

Thanks everyone for your feedback on MAF,
Regards,
Christopher.

P.s. I already have a gmail account Jesse, but thanks for the offer all 
the same. :).
