261816 - search feature in bookmarks manager does not let you see where the 'source' bookmark is stored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196509

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[roongpatoong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

Sometimes I have the same bookmark doubled up in my huge list of bookmarks. I
use the search feature of the bookmarks manager to find these 'doublons' - but
once they bookmarks are found - it doesn't give me any information about where
the 'source/original' bookmark is stored in my large tree of bookmarks.

Therefore - I can't simply go there and delete it - infact, after the search, I
still have absolutely no idea where the bookmark is stored!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search in bookmarks manager for a doubled-up bookmark entry
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The two versions of the bookmarks were displayed

Expected Results:  
I should be able to right-click and check the properties box to see where each
bookmark is actually placed in my bookmarks 'filesystem'.

Attachment: example show path in searchbar

a "show path" option would indeed be nice
