313338 - about: Bookmarks appears in location box instead of url to be saved

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 286164

(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[jefschw]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051018 Camino/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051018 Camino/1.0+

For any url to be saved from the Location box in the earlier Camino version
0.8.4, I would click on the Bookmarks icon and then drag the url from the
Location box to a folder. With the newer Camino, the url to be saved changes to
"about: Bookmarks," and, therefore, I am unable to save the url using the drag
and drop method.

Also when transferring individual Bookmarks from Safari to the earlier Camino
version the transfer was a copy leaving the original with Safari. Now the
transfer is total eliminating the Bookmark from Safari.

Reproducible: Always

This is by design (see my comments in the bug to which this one is being duped,
which lists some of the devs' reasoning).

Please only list one bug per bug report--please open a new bug for your second
issue.  Thanks!
