Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008032704 Minefield/3.0pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008032704 Minefield/3.0pre

When I change the location for a bookmark with a place: URI, the result in the bookmarks menu or bookmarks toolbar do not update.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the query in the location for a bookmark with a place: URI
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The corresponding menu item and/or submenus are not updated. 

Expected Results:  
The menu item and its submenus should update to reflect the changed query. 

It updates if I restart Minefield. Sometimes also if I close and reopen the browser window. Anyway, that should not be necessary.

Bulk closing all UNCONFIRMED bugs dealing with places that haven't had any bug activity in over 120 days, have no votes, and are not enhancement requests.

If you are still experiencing this issue in Firefox 3.0 or later, please re-open the bug with steps to reproduce (if they were not part of the original comment).

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
