387911 - If livemark annotations are missing/malformed, drag / copy are also broken

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Christine Yen]

As noted in bug 341035, deleting a livemark + undoing the delete removes annotations but the node is still identified as a livemark node. Both the current DnD/copy code in controller and the new patches planned in bugs 378558 and 386788 throw an exception when uri is null and uri.spec is called, cancelling the drag/copy operations.

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.
