Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 404507

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008022308 Minefield/3.0b4pre

In version 2, one could add the keyword bookmark property to a bookmark
when creating it with the addition of the following line in userChrome.css
  #keywordRow { display: -moz-grid-line !important; }

That addition does not work in Version 3.

Means one can no longer simply create a complete bookmark correctly with the first actions, but must go into very convoluted usage to get to properties to change the bookmark after creating it.
      

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ctrl+D
 



What I would really like to see is the following, which I have seen exactly twice in Places, and don't know what mistake I made to bring it up, but it has all of the fields I really would like to be able to work with when first creating a bookmark, even has tags (in addition to MUCH more important keyword).

instead of a severely crippled Add Bookmark dialog used in Places

It has everything that is missing:  keyword, description, ability to create a folder within bookmarks (menu, toolbar, unfiled),  load in sidebar.

This is driving me nuts too. Most of the time it takes ages to find that bookmark via the menus, just so I can add a keyword. I think not having that inclusion really limits the usefulness of the dialog. 

Especially since there's a huge move to using tags. Essentially, a keyword is a tag that's limited to belonging to only one bookmark.

I believe these preferences should be builtin to Firefox 3, particularly the keyword preference that was in Version 2, but at least the "OpenBook" extension has been updated to work with version 3, so can now access keyword, and description.  
  https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/42
and so bookmarking is at least usable once more, even if only with an extension.

Another workaround for lack of being builtin to Firefox3, is 
  Keyword addition for Add/Change Bookmark (Fx3) | userstyles.org
  http://userstyles.org/styles/9029 

Includes Keyword, Location URL, and Description when adding (Ctrl+D), or modifying a bookmark with the Firefox 3 Star.

The description will fill in automatically from webpages that include the description META tag, and you can change it to what you want.

Since it is a userstyle, you can modify what options you want to appear, but  keyword is far more important than label, and keyword should be included by default in Firefox.
