I think you meant about:support which takes you to the Troubleshooting Information page.


Pretty ironic that confusion is brewing even among the technically savvy crowd here. This probably proves the OP's point.


No? This is exactly the sort of "pedantry" the average user won't care about -- they just click on a menu item to get there.


Isn't TFA about removing the menu item or am I missing something here?


The menu item I'm talking about is "Help->Troubleshooting". The change being considered in the bug is regarding the "About" item.


They should definitely get rid of about:support then. It's just not consistent from a UI perspective. And yes, like the person above mentioned, if we can get confused about it, an average user will just be really frustrated.


"Troubleshooting" takes you to about:support, while "About" is the standard about menu item that pops up version info, credits, and the like.

So clearly! your point about it being too confusing is wrong... =P
