400862 - Deleted Bookmarks Findable in Bookmark Manager

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Todd Agulnick]

Replicated on WinXP and Mac OSX:

* Open bookmark manager
* Create a folder
* Create a bookmark named "foo"
* Drag bookmark into newly created folder
* Delete newly created folder
* Enter "foo" in the search box
* "foo" appears as a found bookmark

The bookmark "foo" continues to exist as a sort of phantom, viewable only by search in the bookmark manager. It persists if the bookmark manager is closed and reopened, but is not persisted if Firefox is restarted.

Firefox version?  Go to Help -> About and copy the string that you can select in.

There's a similar bug (idk if it's related) in a few other places including the UI that allows deleting cookies but it's fixed just by closing and reopening the popup where that UI is. (don't know if it happens on trunk but I'm pretty sure I've seen it filed)

Whoops! Sorry I neglected to include that:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/2007100816 Firefox/2.0.0.8

It may be related to the bug you mention, but closing and reopening the bookmark manager doesn't repair the problem.

not going to take further fixes on 2.x, feel free to reopen if you can reproduce on 3.x or current trunk
