303105 - add bookmark on a feed-view should call "add live bookmark" dialog

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

Now that Bug 302121 has landed, if we visit a feed page, pressing "bookmark this
page"/ctrl+D etc. should call the "add live bookmark" dialog not the "add
bookmark" dialog

I am a strongly opposite to this one:

1. Usability: If you click bookmark this page, you expect exactly that - to
bookmark that page. On the other hand, feedview allows you to add live bookmark
on conventional way - exactly as expected.

2. Functionality: Bookmarking feeds is added functionality. I have several feeds
bookmarked in one folder, and I middle-click that folder once a day. It is
extremly effective. Well, it is effective enough even to view just one
bookmarked feed. With your proposal, that solution would be impossible.

Could we perhaps add some actions on the right side of the page below the
article length adjustment to allow for an option Add Livemark or Add Live Bookmark?

I don't see why we would want to do this, there are users who prefer the "one
feed" way rather than a live bookmark folder. Also, Accel+D is expected to
bookmark the current page, nothing else.

We do expose a way to add a livebookmark of the current feed (It is not as good
as it could be, but that isn't feedview-specific).

IMO, the best way to do this would be for the Add Live Bookmark indicator to
appear in the status bar when viewing a feed. That way it's *exactly* like any
other webpage: bookmark adds a bookmark to the URL, and some special mechanism
is used to indicate that you want to subscribe to the RSS feed.

Agree that this should be WONTFIX.
