Not blocking on P3 items, either :)

I tried a small mockup that may be related to this bug.
Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

File was too big to attach, so here's the link.

notes are related to a particular page, so maybe you could put the annotation icon into the urlbar as the feed icon, so clicking the annotation icon opens the ui to add, if a page has a note the icon is hilighted (orange border).

Between tagging and description, I think we have enough support for written annotations per-page.

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.
