342381 - Copying a live bookmark should put the livemark/feedURI on the clipboard

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P2)

Description

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Currently, copying a live bookmark does just the same as copying a folder: puts the text/x-moz-place-container on the clipboard, and all you can do is paste it back into your bookmarks elsewhere. It should also put at least the feedURI as text/unicode in, so it can be copied out to a text editor, or pasted into the addressbar to mitigate the way we aren't ever going to include a menu item going back to the feed preview page.

Nice old BM, dragging a live-bookmark folder on the tab-bar opens the feed. We should allow that too.

This also gives higher priority to TYPE_X_MOZ_URL in getTransferData.

Er, it should copy the feed uri, not the site URI.

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.
