Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Setting a bookmark's Description to be the same its Keyword will make the custom
keyword for that bookmark not work. Erase the Description or change it to
something else and the custom keyword for that bookmark works again.

I stumbled upon this because I thought it would be useful to set the description
to be the same as the keyword so I would remember the keyword easily by just
browsing the bookmark manager.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Bookmark Sidebar or Bookmark Manager
2. Right-click a Bookmark and choose "Properties"
3. On the Info Tab, set the Keyword to something (Ex.: foo) and the Description
to the same value (foo)
4. Click Ok
5. Go to the Address bar, enter foo
Actual Results:  
Example 1:
Name: Blue's News
URL: http://www.bluesnews.com/
Keyword: blues
Description: blues

DOESN'T WORK, I get a 404 on http://blues/

Example 2:
Name: Blue's News
URL: http://www.bluesnews.com/
Keyword: blues
Description: whatever

WORKS, I enter 'blues' in the Address Bar and it goes to http://www.bluesnews.com/


Expected Results:  
The custom keyword should work for a particular bookmark no matter what the
description for that bookmark is. I see no reason for any change in behaviour
based on the value of the description field.

I think this bug might be related to bug #119201 (custom keywords don't always work)

This works for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030807 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

Can you replicate with a clean profile and a recent build installed into a new
directory?

According to your request, I did the following:

1. made a backup copy of my 'C:\Program Files\MozillaFirebird' and 'C:\Documents
and Settings\Daniel\Application Data\Phoenix' directories and kept them on
another drive.
2. I removed these two directories and their subdirectories.
3. I downloaded Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 for Windows from http://www.mozilla.org/
again.
4. Rebooted computer.
5. Successfully extracted the contents of the zip file into 'C:\Program
Files\MozillaFirebird' (using folder names).

The bug was easily reproduced:

1. I ran Firebird (it had standard settings, Mozilla Firebird theme, opened up
in http://www.mozilla.org/start/, small window in upper left corner, no history,
standard bookmarks, etc.)
2. I typed in 'google mozilla' in the Address Bar and it opened up google search
results for the term 'mozilla' (http://www.google.com/search?&q=mozilla) as expected
3. I opened up Bookmark Manager
4. Clicked on 'Quick Searches' folder, right-clicked on 'Google Quicksearch'
bookmark, clicked on 'Properties' option
5. I changed the bookmark description to 'google' (thus matching the keyword
'google') and clicked Ok
6. I typed 'google mozilla' in the Address Bar and it sends me to
(http://www.google.com/mozilla/google-search.html) ---> NOT WORKING as expected,
Firebird did not recognize the 'google' keyword for the Google Quicksearch keymark

Additional info:
- I never installed any previous version of Mozilla Firebird
- Running Windows XP Pro [Version 5.1.2600]
- I had Mozilla and thunderbird installed before, erased them and any
Application Data related to them for the sake of this test, no changes noticed.
- The Description field is the fourth field, it is a multiline field just below
the Keyword field in the Info tab of the bookmark properties dialog. I believe
there's no mistake here.
- The description must be EXACTLY the same as the keyword, case-sensitive.
- Tried the same test afterwards with 5 other bookmarks and the results were the
same.

I'll gladly provide any info to help reproduce the problem or try out procedures
to help test it here.

I noticed a version mismatch:

My Firebird:  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030807 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Your Firebird:  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030807 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

If possible, please provide the link where I can download this 0.6.1+ version
for testing.

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