264888 - Pre-defined bookmarks still say "Firebird"! Confusing for new users!

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Patrik Floding]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

The various predefined bookmarks say "Firebird", for example "Mozilla Firebird &
Mozilla information".

This is true up to and including version "1.0PR".

Tested on XP, but I assume the menu is the same on all platform.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Bookmark menu
2. Look



This problem may look minor, but is in fact a major problem for any product that
aims to be of the highest quality. Confusing new users is BAD!

1) You're using Firefox 0.8 - please update to the latest release version before
reporting bugs.
2) You're using a profile that predated the "Firefox" name, it only
changes/creates bookmarks for new profiles.  LXR's bookmarks.html shows no hits
for "Firebird".

OK
FYI: I'm reporting using another PC than the one I tested on.
The one I tested on has 1.0PR.

Perhaps some bookmark items should come from Mozilla itself rather than the
saved bookmarks file!

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