RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 287137

People

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am trying to rename a bookmark in the Sidebar (shown by hitting cmd+B or ctrl+B).

Actual results:

Currently, to edit a bookmark, I have to do a right-click/secondary click/two-finger tap to bring up the context menu, then click "Edit Bookmark...", which brings up a pop-up window in the center-top of the Browser window. In that window, in the "Name" field I can change the name of the bookmark. This is quite cumbersome if I don't want to edit other attributes of the bookmark.

Expected results:

It would be great if it was possible to also make the bookmark-name editable directly in the sidebar, for instance by clicking a second time on an already selected bookmark, similar to how files can be renamed in the macOS Finder. Here, clicking on the file-name of an already selected file makes the name editable, without the need for a pop-up window.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History

Thank you for the report! Marking this as a NEW Enhancement.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

we have some initial implementation of that in the Star panel, but it was not ported to other views.
I think this is a dupe of (the unfortunately old) Bug 287137.
