User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060728 Camino/1.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060728 Camino/1.0+ When bookmarking about:blank under normal circumstances, the browser attempts to bookmark the last page visited. However, when bookmarking about:blank from the Bookmarks Manager, about:blank is bookmarked instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to any site. 2. Navigate to about:blank. 3. Choose Bookmarks > Create Bookmark. 4. Open Bookmarks Manager, press Bookmarks > Create Bookmark. Actual Results: In the first case, the bookmark is created pointing to the first site visited. In the second case, the bookmark is created pointing to about:blank. Expected Results: The location bookmarked should be consistent, regardless of how it is created. Notes: If about:blank is the first site visited (meaning it is set as the home page), then attempting to create a bookmark through the Bookmark Manager will fail on nightly builds. If the '+' button is used to do so, it will remain depressed after selecting 'Add Bookmark'. On 1.0.2, it will instead try to create a bookmark pointing towards about:bookmarks.

Open Bookmarks Manager, press Bookmarks > Create Bookmark. > > Actual Results: > In the first case, the bookmark is created pointing to the first site visited. > In the second case, the bookmark is created pointing to about:blank. I see exactly the opposite behavior (assuming "Create Bookmark" means "Add Page to Bookmarks..."). about:blank isn't added to session history, so there's no way to know that's where you came from. If you go to a page, then about:blank, then toggle the bookmark manager on and off, you'll be back at the page you visited before about:blank for the same reason. Similarly, if you go somewhere, then go to about:blank, then go somewhere else, then go back, you skip over about blank. In general, about:blank is not a real page, so you shouldn't expect it to be treated as one. I'm trying to imagine a non-contrived situation where someone would explicitly visit about:blank, and am failing, so I don't see that as an issue. As this has nothing to do with the bookmark manager itself, I'm closing this as INVALID. (The only thing here that sounds like a bug is the bookmark manager isn't validating bookmark creation correctly in the no-history (about:blank home page) case, but since that's tangential it should be filed as a new bug.)

The first case is bug 302614 (as is the second, actually). I think this is all a dupe, actually. (In that last paragraph, 1.0.2 is actually doing the right thing; I wonder how it broke in the nightlies?)
