Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 329236

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[David A. Cobb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060810 Minefield/3.0a1 Mnenhy/0.7.4.666
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060810 Minefield/3.0a1 Mnenhy/0.7.4.666

Because the PLACES UI is a separate window, trying to drag the current location from a browser window buries the places dialog.  This makes it impossible to drop the current location into a bookmark folder.

Reproducible: Always

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.
