331236 - Livemark system should listen for changes to livemark/feedURI annotation

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Joe Hughes]

After the user changes the URI of a livemark's feed, the livemark system needs to refetch the feed and update the livemark folder contents.

I suspect this is WONTFIX - the only in-tree way to change a livemark's feedURI is through the properties dialog, which kicks off a transaction that changes it, and then calls reloadLivemarkFolder, which is quite a bit more efficient than having the livemark service's bookmarks observer look at every single onItemChanged to see whether it's a livemark, and if so if the feedURI was what changed.

Correct, plus we don't intent to support changing this annotations manually.

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.
