Does 1.5 handle this case the way you want?

Works with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Firefox/1.0.7 (Debian package 1.0.7-1), don't know with 1.5.

Linked with Bug 329983 ?

The 302 redirect bug you mentioned only has to do with presentation in the history view.

I can not reproduce this bug. I created a keyword in the database manually and it worked. I created the keyword in 1.5 and imported it into the latest places build and it worked. Can you retest with the latest build?

Did you import this from seamonkey? Perhaps it is not importing correctly. If so, can you attach a bookmarks.html created with seamonkey that causes this problem? (You can probably delete all the bookmarks but the one in question)

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.
