426870 - bookmarking place: URIs can lead to circular menus

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

see bug 424884.

STR:

1. create a new bookmark in the bookmarks menu with uri "place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU"

Expected result:

Should not allow a bookmark like this to be created. If the concrete id of a place: URI, after being converted into a query is in the ancestry of the item, it should not be allowed to be created.

Actual: Bookmarks menu folder is created in the Bookmarks menu folder.

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.
