The Bookmarks UI is different in Firefox and Seamonkey, so this isn't a dup of a Seamonkey bug.

the one issue with this is that we don't want this for normal users. Second, if you're creating a bookmark from a search field, it does allow you to choose the keyword already, so this is only really needed if you're just looking to add a keyword for a "normal" bookmark, which is pretty much an edge case. Still, it bears some examination, but after 1.0, when I want to take a look at how we add bookmarks.

(In reply to comment #3) > the one issue with this is that we don't want this for normal users. Given that there's already a sort of "advanced" or "expanded" mode (when you click the widget to view the bookmarks sub-folders), I figured that it could be something that is only exposed there. > Second, if you're creating a bookmark from a search field, it does allow you > to choose the keyword already, so this is only really needed if you're just > looking to add a keyword for a "normal" bookmark, which is pretty much an > edge case. Huh, it doesn't seem like an edge case to me. I guess it's a matter of working style, but I only ever do "normal" bookmarks, and very often want to add a keyword when I do so. Hence my filing of this enhancement request...
The extension OpenBook (http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=42) provides a Keyword field. It doesn't yet provide fields for other bookmark properties.
