1339793 - Live Bookmark properties does not show the URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1203341

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[bikerunner74]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170125094131

Steps to reproduce:

I have some live bookmarks. I tried to view the live bookmark URL to add it to another program or to get the feed content with curl.

* navigate to the live bookmark in may live bookmarks folder
* select "Properties" from the live bookmark


Actual results:

A properties window with "Name" and "Description" opens. The URL of the feed is not shown.

Bad workaround:
I need to export all my bookmarks to a HTML file and search for the feed name to get the live bookmark URL. The attribute name of the a-tag is "FEEDURL" in the exported HTML file. A separate HREF attribute is also part of the tag.


Expected results:

Display the feed URL (and the href) within the properties view of the live bookmark. This may be displayed in a disabled input field (no change is allowed) if there are some internal restrictions.

This makes it easier to review the feed url. And maybe allow users to send the feed URL to other interested users without exporting and searching all bookmarks.

BTW.: The "All bookmarks" view from menu does hide the feed URL too.

Can the "solution" (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203341#c2) be added to the "Live bookmarks" page (https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Basic-Browsing/Live-Bookmarks-Subscribe-to-a-web-page-for-news-and-updates/ta-p/478)? This may help other users to get a workaround.

So it's at least a documentation issue.
