A useful feature regarding the bookmarks would be if a user could batch edit
properties of bookmarks. There would be two main methods for batching: setting
properties on a bookmarks folder, which would then be inhertied by the children,
or selecting multiple bookmarks (using shift/ctrl) in the Bookmark Manager and
selecting Properties from the right-click context menu.

This way a user could set a single schedule or notification method for an entire
folder (or arbitrary selection) of bookmarks. This is a feature already present
in most UIs dealing with multiple objects and their properties (e.g. Windows
Explorer).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Bookmarks Manager

2. Right-click on a bookmark folder and select Properties
3.  Observe that there is only an "Info" tab for the folder itself.

-or-

2. Select multiple bookmarks and right-click on one of them.
3. Notice that the Properties option is disabled on the context menu.


Expected Results:  
There could be settings regarding the properties of the bookmarks in a specific
folder and properties of selected groups of bookmarks.

First part is covered by Bug 330392, second, about notifications, became obsolete with removing that feature, so is this bug still need to be open?
