290017 - "Bookmark this page" doesn't support keyword or description

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 176607

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Keith Bissett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041128 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-4)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041128 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-4)

The "Bookmark this page" menu option (or the Ctrl-D keyboard shortcut) give you
a screen where you can enter the name and a location of a new bookmark.

When I want to create a new bookmark with a keyword or description this means I
have to add the bookmark, go to the place in my bookmark heirarchy where it is,
right-click on it, select properties, and add the keyword and description.

It would be great to have keyword and description incorporated into the
"bookmark this page" dialog.

If I've missed an option or something, please let me know, but I can't figure
out how to do it.

This is intentional to keep the dialog simple.

Firstly, IMO this is not a dupe because:
(A) it's a feature enhancement request, not a bug request
(B) it includes keyword and not just description.

Secondly (and more importantly), I note that the bug that this was merged with
has been flagged as "WONTFIX".  I can't reopen that one, so I've reopened this
one (even if it was rejected as a bug, I think it's worth reconsideration as a
feature request).

Anything that makes the browser interface unnecessarily awkward to use certainly
should be flagged 'to do' at some level.

Please read the bugzilla etiquette document at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/etiquette.html

That isn't even the only bug rejecting this enhancement, and just because you
can reopen a bug does not mean that you should if you disagree.  Bugzilla isn't
a democracy.

This bug should remain resolved.  If you want to argue, take it to private email.

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