Subscribing to a RSS feed with Live bookmarks, seems to use a different bookmark menu than if you used the new Star tagging bookmark menu.  Shouldnt we keep this uniform and consistent with one menu?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Trunk build
2. Find a site with RSS feed, and subscribe to it using Live bookmarks
3. Click the "Subscribe Now" button, and notice the add bookmark dropdown menu is different than the new star bookmarking menu.  

See screenshots
Actual Results:  
RSS feed bookmark menu is not the same as the Star bookmarking menu

Expected Results:  
Should be uniform across the board and use the same Star bookmarking menu?

are you talking about look-and-feel, or using the contextual dialog instead of the modal one?

btw those are different things. RSS subscription is a dialog, not the Star panel, that is instead referred to the current 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.
