416653 - can't remove bookmark (cancel addition) added by bookmark this link in the popup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 415062

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Tuukka Tolvanen (sp3000)]

linux fx trunk 20080210

steps:
 1. right-click on a link to a page you haven't bookmarked
 2. click "Bookmark This Link" in context menu

result: "Page Bookmarked" popup appears with no "Remove Bookmark" button
expected: "Page Bookmarked" popup appears with "Remove Bookmark" button

If the link you use at step 1 is already bookmarked, you will get a "Remove Bookmark" button on the popup.

I get a "Cancel" button on the popup, but it doesn't cancel the addition of the bookmark (which it does do for the "Bookmark this Page" context menu item); the bookmark is still created.

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.
