1966729 - Changing the URL when bookmarking: The original URL is displayed as a bookmark.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[Denis Müller [:Webworkr]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 14; Mobile; rv:140.0) Gecko/140.0 Firefox/140.0

Steps to reproduce:

Some websites do not yet have a responsive design and redirect to a separate URL (usually a subdomain) when accessed via a mobile device. "Wikipedia" is a prominent example of this.

1. call up a corresponding page.
2. add the current page as a bookmark and remove the mobile part from the URL so that the standard URL is saved in desktop view.

Actual results:

Although the "mobile" URL has not been saved in the bookmark, the bookmark status display indicates that the "mobile" URL has been saved.

If you switch to another tab or app in the meantime and then return, the bookmark star behaves as expected ("not active").

Expected results:

Correct display at all times

According to the latest observations, the phenomenon also occurs if no subdomain is involved and the URLs differ only by appended parameters.

A few days ago, I wanted to reproduce the reported behavior for documentation purposes using a specific example.
However, the phenomenon no longer occurred.

Current version:

GV: 142.0a1-20250711091324

The test may have been performed under a previous version.
