280887 - Live bookmarks should link to site homepage

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 251491

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Allen Pike]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 StumbleUpon/1.999 (PowerBook)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

You should be able to click the Live Bookmark parent folder (or possibly a
special item inside the folder) to go to the homepage you got the feed from.

Without this, people make one Bookmark and one Live Bookmark per site, making
your Bookmarks menu twice as long.

- A lot of sites (i.e. blogs) print the full article texts on their homepage,
making the Live Bookmarks useful only for seeing if there's new headlines, less
so for actually clicking on.
- Often you want to see the summaries of the articles before delving into the
comments, etc.

The workaround for now is having a Live Bookmark "mozillaZine" that shows me the
headlines, and if there's more than one, I need to click on the static Bookmark,
also "mozillaZine" to read them. Essentially it necessitates two bookmarks per site.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a live bookmark for mozillaZine.
2. Want to read a few of the articles it lists.
3. Click on the folder name (i.e. "mozillaZine")
Actual Results:  
Windows - Nothing at all.
Mac - Bookmarks menu went away.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the site in question (i.e. mozillazine.org).
