264165 - Impossible in Bookmark Search result list to modify Bookmark PROPERTIES

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 255255

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

If I open Bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B) (or from "Bookmarks menu" select "Manage
Bookmarks") and THEN SEARCH, Firefox displays a hit list of bookmark results...
However it is IMPOSSIBLE to modify properties on any displayed result.

For no clear reason, the functionality to modify "Properties" (from "Edit menu,
or right-click or "Ctrl+I") becomes disabled. It is not possible to add/modify a
bookmark name, add/modify/delete keyword, cannot add/modify a description.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open bookmarks
2.Search on any string 
3.Select any item in the hit list and try to modify properties.

Actual Results:  
Could not modify bookmark properties.

Expected Results:  
User should be able to modify properties

A silly yet extremely frustrating loss of functionality. There is no good
workaround. It's extremely time-consuming to scroll through thousands of
bookmarks for each bookmark I want to INDIVIDUALLY. There's no point for an
existing functionality to be disabled. It also reduces the great added-value of
Firefox features, like being able to keyword bookmarks.
