205507 - [Performance] Add Bookmarks Dialog's 'Create In' Drop down menu is very slow when there is many folders in bookmark.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 178514

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[noririty]

It's too slow to appear 'Create In' drop down dialog box's contents when I
Choose [Bookmark]-[Add Bookmark...]

I compared the [Tool]-[Options]-[General]-[Use Bookmark] dialog with this. The
result is 'Use Bookmark' dialog appears faster than 'Add Bookmarks' Dialog.
Obviously there is plenty of room for improvement.

Does anyone know this reason?

I think it's from difference between <tree> and other widgets.
The <tree> widget is a special widget, it's implemented partially native, it
processes only on-displayed items and it's RDF-template-oriented for performance
of heavy components such as bookmarks, history and so on.

Thus I propose using <tree> widget for 'Add Bookmarks' dialog as Mozilla
SeaMonkey does now.

the menu is populated in js, we should indeed use a tree

Bug 178514 asks for a tree view there as well. Please reopen if you don't want a
tree view but make the current list faster.
