333589 - New bookmark doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 332496

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Andreas Grillenberger]

When I try to add a bookmark via places, the "New Bookmark" menu entry doesn't open any dialog to add the bookmark.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open places
2. Click bookmarks menu or bookmarks toolbar
3. Click the right window
4. Click File -> New Bookmark

I can confirm this on the latest trunk, nothing happens at all.

I see this too. Javascript Console reports

Error: PlacesController.newBookmark is not a function
Source file: chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
Line: 1

Also, clicking on any bookmark in Places > Bookmark Menu or Places > Bookmark Toolbar throws

Warning: reference to undefined property node.type
Source file: chrome://browser/content/places/controller.js
Line: 544

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.
