Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433317

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Anon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

Renaming "Recent Bookmarks" to just "Recent" doesn't seem to work. The name "Recent" is shown in the bookmark properties but the bookmark itself still shows the name as "Recent Bookmarks."

The bookmark item was on my Bookmarks Toolbar while I was trying this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Rename Recent Bookmarks to anything.
Actual Results:  
Recent Bookmarks will visually remain the same yet it will show the new name while editing it in properties.

Expected Results:  
Recent Bookmarks should have been displayed under another name.

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.
