Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Flash MX allows Flash developers to use frame labels within the Flash authoring environment as "named anchors" (aka "bookmarks"). Testing the use of named anchors  in MSIE 6 (6.0.2900.2180) allows the named anchor to be used as a bookmark (eg: URL/flashmoviename#namedanchor) and the named anchor appears in the browser history. However, in Firefox 1.0.5.1, the use of named anchors in Flash does not appear to be supported. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a flash movie in Flash MX utilising named anchors.
2. Load the movie in Firefox and navigate to a named anchor.
3. Add bookmark -- the named anchor does not appear in the bookmark manager.



Expected Results:  
Bookmark manager should display the named anchor, eg: moviename#namedanchor
History should display the named anchor, allowing navigation through the Flash movie.
