“Critical GUI components”? What the heck is your mom doing in the Options dialog anyway? If anything, the need for an options dialog displays the lack of intuitive UI design.

I am not bashing the design of Firefox. I’m just saying that the people who need the Options dialog are, as you poited out, the same people who will know how to get to it, hidden or not.

And, really, I don’t think your mom is so thick that she is unable to unhide the menu bar with a simple tap on the alt button, provided you explained it to her in your imaginary scenario.

The advantage of Open-Source is that anyone who isn’t happy with the way a product is going, or sees it stagnate into disuse, can grab a copy of the source, fork it, and start work on a new and better version.
No matter what the intentions of whoever released the Open-Source software in the first place, this is a whole lot better than having to pin all your hopes on one vendor for that one feature you’ve been wanting.

I finally found out why ‘Hide Menubar’ and ‘Personal Menu’ did not hide my menubar anymore :)

If you are using Opera 10 or 10.10, all you have to do is go to “File” Menu and uncheck the “Show Menu Bar” option.

How so?

99.9% of users are not going to go in to the source files to solve a problem.

And with a active and dedicated dev team(such as the Opera Team) there is no need for source files to be released, as they have the job well covered on there end and I will wait patiently for a future release.

‘Okay mom, so click on the tools menu and then go to options. What do you mean you don’t see a tools menu?’

Minimalism, catering to those who know how to hide critical GUI components any way at the expense of screwing over the majority of users.

Why wouldn’t they put automatic updates?
Most software besides browsers have automatic updates.
It only makes sense too.
