337376 - add bookmark feature in places bookmarks manager broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 332496

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Charli Li (winsxs)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060508 Minefield/3.0a1 - Build ID: 2006050805

When you want to add a bookmark from the places bookmark manager, you ordinarily click on Add Bookmark.  But for some reason, when I click on it, nothing comes up.

Steps to reporduce:
1. Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks
2. Click on Add Bookmark

What actually happened:
nothing happened

What should happen:
an Add Bookmark dialog should appear

This only happens on builds with places on.

Bug 337305 is a similar bug for non-places builds.

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.
