Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1

When using 'Bookmark This Page...' by right-clicking, CTRL-D, or Tools, the dialog asks for a name and location, but not a keyword, description, or the option to open in the sidebar. Using 'Add a Keyword for this Search...' does ask for a keyword, but not a description. To add any of this missing information, the user must add the bookmark and then go to the bookmark's properties. The Add Bookmark dialog should be more like the Bookmark Properties dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to any page.
2. Choose to bookmark this page.

Actual Results:  
The user is asked for a name and location for the bookmark.

Expected Results:  
The users is asked for a name, location, keyword, description, and if they want to open the bookmark in the sidebar.
Certainly not a dupe of the Suite bug, as one of the Firefox bugs makes clear. At this point, even if it was going to be reconsidered, it's too close to Firefox 2.0's code freeze, so it would be for 3.0, making it a Places bug rather than a Bookmarks bug, but Places currently *does* have keywords in the add bookmark dialog (which will probably morph into something more like tags before it ships), and doesn't even have a description field at the moment, so for now, duplicate of those two is close enough.
