329065 - Can't create bookmark by dragging link to bookmarks-menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

The most usual and quickest way for me to create a new bookmark is dragging a link, favicon or tab to the bookmarks-menu. While dragging I decide where to put it, because all folders expand automatically and I can see what is inside it.
This is broken.

This patch was landed on the trunk, but not the 1.8 branch.

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.
