Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Microsummaries, defect, P5)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

in the microsummary tooltip for a bookmark, show "Updated x [minutes|hours|days] ago", sort of how on news.google.com, they have:  "Auto-generated 12 minutes ago"

suggestions:  it would be the last line of the tooltip.

this came up at myk's talk.

cc'ing the usual suspects.

This is probably too significant a change to make it into Firefox 2 at this stage, since microsummaries currently doesn't touch the tooltip at all (the bookmarks views are responsible for building tooltip content).

Not only are we not touching the tooltip, but we also don't record when we last updated the microsummary.  We just record when it expires.

But we probably *should* record the last update time (and for how long it's valid, and how we determined that), not only for this bug but also so we can intelligently change the expiration time when the user twiddles browser.microsummary.updateInterval (being implemented over in bug 342044).
