321820 - Optimize bookmark UI update

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Brett Wilson]

The bookmark menu and toolbar should not keep queries open unless the user actually has a menu open. The bookmark menu can dynamically generate a query when the menu is opened.

The toolbar can listen for bookmark notifications. When the parent of any changed item is the toolbar folder (not common), regenerate the contents. When a toolbar menu is opened, it can execute a query and dynamically generate the content as needed.

This should save a lot of observer overhead.

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.
