319228 - Need custom title for bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P1)

Description

[Annie Sullivan]

Right now, if I drag a link to the personal toolbar, the title of the bookmark I create is the anchor text of the link.  But then if I click the bookmark and visit the page, the bookmark's title changes to the title of the page.  There should be a custom title in this case so that the title of my bookmark doesn't change when I load the page.

I was planning on doing this as an annotation, but it might get added to history as an optimization.

Checked in backend. UI will be in the bookmark properties dialog (not done yet).

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
