1374002 - Bookmark tag in location bar used to load bookmark

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Steeve McCauley]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170613080547

Steps to reproduce:

Tag bookmark
Open new tab
Type tag in location bar
Hit enter


Actual results:

It searched Google (my default search engine)


Expected results:

It should have loaded my bookmark, which is what it used to do.  For example, I used to type "2017" and it would load a google docs spreadsheet that was bookmarked and tagged "2017".  The behaviour seems to have changed recently (around the time that Firefox 53 was installed, now running Firefox 54).

I suspect you had an add-on doing this, since we don't support such functionality like typing a tag and going to a tagged page. Maybe the add-on stopped working and needs an update?
Otherwise, what you name tag was a bookmark keyword, and maybe it got lost?

Hrm, okay, don't think I've disabled any add-ons lately.  Not bookmark keyword, it was definitely a tag, maybe it coincides with the removal of keywords?  Not sure when that happened, just noticed now that you mentioned it that they are gone.  I *was* a really nice feature whatever it was, type "goo" in the bar and hit enter and it loaded that bookmark. Hopefully I can find out because I'm getting tired of searching for "goo" lately :)

Maybe the EnterSelects add-on?
I didn't suggest you disabled an add-on, just that an add-on you have doesn't work as expected.

No, don't have EnterSelects.

I'll try it though.

Well this add-on does exactly what I wanted.  Thanks for the heads up.
