[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 393472, member: 3889"] Maybe I'm missing something here, but there are many submenus in the Finder menu bar. (Apple has had them at least since System 7, most notably in the Apple Menu itself, though they appear elsewhere, too. (OS 9 has a plethora of them in the menu bar, with three or four being in the desktop left- or right-click contextual menu.) There is at least one in the desktop left- or right-click contextual menu in OS X, for Automator. My machine has two more as well, but they are from third-party apps. Apple's dock has them, too. It's true that these function the same whether they are accessed with the left or right buttons, but Firefox would not break any such hypothetical Apple guidelines if its bookmarks-bar tab choices followed the same click pattern Apple's do and as Firefox's do in the menu bar across the top. Though Apple sometimes doesn't follow its own guidelines, the number of submenus and mouse contextual menus Apple itself includes suggests this isn't the case in this instance, and that Mozilla made the decision to exclude them in the bookmarks-toolbar tabs button for some other reason.
