327162 - Delete favicons and annotations when deleting folders

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P4)

Description

[Brett Wilson]

When querying to see which bookmark folders are livemarks, the livemark service should check with the bookmark service that the folder ID is valid (you could ask for the title or something). If it isn't, the annotation should be deleted. This will keep the service from accumulating bad annotations if something unexpected happens to the folders.

Also, be sure to delete favicons.

I'm changing this bug slightly. The annotation service shouldn't have to delete the annotations and favicons it assigns to folders. This should be a feature of the bookmark service that happens for all folders when you delete them. The bookmark service would also provide undo ability.

bug 379211 fixed the annotations bit for folders. orphaned favicons are removed during expiration.

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.
