342527 - "Search in bookmarks" and "Organize Bookmarks" do the same thing

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[:deanis74]

I'm sure this is a duplicate, but my 20 minute search didn't find anything.  Bookmarks > Search Bookmarks and Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks do the exact same thing, so we only need one of them.

Since both call the exact same function, it's no surprise that they do the same thing :). Obviously the intention was that they do something different, but Places hasn't been worked on lately given the fact that it's been pushed off. This is almost certainly either a dupe or dependent on another bug, but having it open doesn't hurt, I guess!

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.
