Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the html example above in your browser 2. Choose file bookmark and look at the location field of the popup 3. Actual Results: wyci less than wyg Expected Results: wyci precisely wyg Perhaps (or perhaps not) you wonder why anyone would want to write such evil code. I've used it for a document loaded from a chrome url that calls a script (with a timeout thus) which processes the bookmarks datasource. On windows (not on linux), without the timeout, and only on startup, sometimes, some bookmarks related function would return null, preventing the creation of the page. Since this only happened on startup, I figured that a small pause might give mozilla the time to finish its presumably unfinished initialization. If you have a better idea, please let me know.
Summary: wyciwyc added to bookmarked url → wyciwyc added to bookmarked url
I thought I had found a work around for this bug with putting window.QueryInterface( Components.interfaces.nsIInterfaceRequestor ) .getInterface( Components.interfaces.nsIWebNavigation ) .currentURI.spec = document.location.href; after the document.close() (in a document loaded from a chrome url that is). However, when another page is loaded and then the back button clicked, mozilla crashes. The setTimeout seems indeed to do what I wanted it to do (make sure the page gets properly created), so I wouldn't like to just take it out. However, the page I'm creating is supposed to be a startup page ( bookmarkshome.mozdev.org ) and bookmarking it and backnavigating to it are therefore things that should definitely work. So, if you're reading this and you know a better work around or a good alternative for the setTimeout, please let me know!! Jeroen

I'd guess bookmarks should use createExposableURI here...

Looks like addBookmarkForTabBrowser and addBookmarkForBrowser need fixing.

(this is Sanskrit to me.) Is this bug still valid?
Yes, it's easy to verify - load the attachment, wait three seconds (the text will change from "waiting" to "rewritten") then open the file bookmark dialog.
(In reply to comment #8) > Yes, it's easy to verify - load the attachment, wait three seconds (the text > will change from "waiting" to "rewritten") then open the file bookmark dialog. > ... and the URL line shows as "wyciwyg://0/https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=197606" (without the quotes).

Out of interest, does Firefox have this bug? If not and we can find out where they fixed it, we may be able to turn this into a mentored porting bug.
Same problem present in today Firefox nightly
