263261 - Add cut/copy/paste to context menu for left pane of bookmarks manager

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Doug Hockin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

A right click in the bookmarks manager's left pane doesn't give a menu that
allows cut/copy/paste.  The user interface looks like a  Windows file browser,
but unlike the Windows browser, you can't cut/copy/paste.  I wanted to move a
folder to
a new place but it was a pain without this feature and very dissonant cause I'm
so used to it working.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks...
2. Right click
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Menu appears with cut/copy/paste and whatever else makes sense.

the left pane is only for navigation, not copy/paste
this is intended behaviour

This is an enhancement request, not a bug report.
The change I suggested is better, more useful behavior than the way
it works now which is clumsy.  Saying that this is the "intended" behaviour
isn't a reasonable response to an enhancement request.

This is _not_ the same request as 256170.

Sorry about that, a quick look indicated that it was a dupe. I should have read
more carefully before verifying.

In my opinion, this will probably be WONTFIXED, as there are already easy ways
to manage bookmarks (drag and drop). Confirming RFE nonetheless.

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

This works for me in Firefox 3.0.1 on Windows XP.

Also seems to work for me in Firefox 3.0.1 on Windows XP.

While I was testing it FF got hung and completely unresponsive so I
had to kill it. But a second try at testing this when well.
