Menu differences in Windows, Linux, and Mac
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
Most (if not all) of the knowledge base articles related to Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla Suite / SeaMonkey refer to the menu sequences used in Windows. In the Linux and Mac versions of these applications, however, the menu sequences sometimes differ, as shown below.
Note: Starting in Firefox 4, the Menu bar is hidden by default on Windows 7/Vista. To access Options and other menu items, either click the Firefox Button at the top of the browser window or press the "Alt" key to temporarily show a hidden Menu bar.
Firefox and Thunderbird
| Menu item | Windows | Linux | Mac OS X |
|---|---|---|---|
| Options / Preferences | Tools -> Options... | Edit -> Preferences | Firefox -> Preferences... Thunderbird -> Preferences... |
| Account Settings (Thunderbird) | Tools -> Account Settings... | Edit -> Account Settings | Tools -> Account Settings... |
Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey
| Menu item | Windows | Linux | Mac OS X |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preferences | Edit -> Preferences... | Edit -> Preferences... | Mozilla Suite -> Preferences... SeaMonkey -> Preferences... |
| Account Settings (Mail) | Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings... | Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings |
If you come across other menu differences, feel free to add them to the above.
