265222 - More detailed Add Bookmark form containing all Bookmark Properties fields

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Leslie Ovitt]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.54 (Windows NT 5.1; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: 

When creating a bookmark, my only options are to change the name of the bookmark 
and the folder which it is saved in.  However, once a bookmark is created, in 
its properties I can change the url, assign keywords, create a definition and 
choose to have it open in a sidebar.  

All of the options in Properties should be available when initially creating a 
bookmark.  This would make FireFox bookmarks even more efficient since one would 
not have to go back through their bookmarks just to change these options.

Importantly, the option to assign a keyword should definitely be available when 
adding a bookmark. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ctrl+D (Bookmark This Page)
2. Right-click on a Bookmark, select Properties
3.

Actual Results:  
Ctrl+D brings up the Add Bookmark window in which I can change the name of my 
bookmark, and choose which folder to put it in, along with choosing if I want to 
bookmark all tabs into this folder.

Viewing a bookmark's properties displays and allows me to edit/add the bookmark 
name, location, keyword, description and to choose if it should be loaded into 
the sidebar.

Expected Results:  
The "Add Bookmark" window should be a replica of a bookmark's "Properties", with 
the addition of choosing which folder to save the bookmark in, and the "bookmark 
all tabs in this folder" option. Meaning, there should be a Name, Location, 
Keyword, Description field and the option to load the bookmark into the sidebar.

We had this a long time ago, and it was too cluttered and much much more than
most users needed/wanted.  The vast majority of users want to add the current
page to a place with a name, that's it.  Few would be changing
URLs/keywords/descriptions.  Those are more advanced/esoteric features and would
create more confusion than good.
