Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Pham]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030428 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030428 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

It says Location in the customizable toolbar palette but addressbar in quick
searches default bookmarks.

Address sounds better, because IE uses it, but Windows uses Location for file's
location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Customize Toolbar
2. Drag Location Bar to palette
3. Go to Bookmarks>quick searches>descriptions

Actual Results:  
palette says location but Quick Search's Descriptions says addressbar

Expected Results:  
call it location bar, or at least address bar instead of addressbar

Pham, are you trying to set some sort of record in most filed Trivial bugs?

Comment 2

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

David, don't be so rough. Firebird and it's users pride themselves in its
supreme UI and fixing these things will improve the UI even further, even if
it's just a trivial thing.

Seeing this also, therefore confirming.

Comment 3

[Pierre Chanial]

Simon's right. A bug is a bug. Fixing many of these trivial bugs will at the end
improve the general feeling about the UI.

[David Tenser [:djst]]

I'm sorry. I guess after triaging bugs like bug 203480, bug 203561, bug 203507,
bug 203249, bug 201051, bug 200826, bug 200819 (yes the list goes on) all filed
by Pham, I'm getting tired of it.

OS -> All.

Is the new summary reflecting what should be done?

Just passing through -- checking up on untriaged Firebird bugs per Blake's
request (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=17109).

Bug is not resolved, patch continues to be valid with version 1.10 of
bookmarks.html.

I am not sure if we should  use address or location.
But in both case, I agree it should be consistent

Updated patch with Location Bar capitalized

pch, we've pretty much established Location as the term in question (Open
Location is another example).  If during the awkward text review its decided to
change this to Address Bar to match IE's terms, then so be it, but if the terms
are universal now, we can change it easier later.

Comment 16

[Robert Parenton]

See comment #15.  We need to be consistent.

Comment 17

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

+ since there is a patch. 

Comment 18

[Josh Ockert]

HTTP uses the "Location" header (for example, as output from CGI apps)

I think "Location Bar" is better.

It's also URI or URL. Not URA.

"Location" matches the community's terminology better. fsck IE.

Mike, can you go ahead and fix this on the trunk, too? It's showing up on my
dependency list in bug 214267.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
