436253 - "Reload Live Bookmark" unavailable if multiple live bookmarks are selected

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Robin Whittleton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0

If you right-click on a live bookmark from the bookmarks organiser then at the bottom of the context menu is a 'Reload Live Bookmark' option. If you have multiple live bookmarks selected though this option is greyed out. If you select a live bookmark and another non-live-bookmark item (e.g. a normal bookmark, a separator etc.) then the option doesn't even show up. I think you should be able to reload multiple live bookmarks if you've selected them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open bookmarks manager and go to a folder with multiple live bookmarks
2. Select multiple live bookmarks by Shift- or Cmd-clicking
3. Right-click and look at the context menu
Actual Results:  
'Reload Live Bookmark' greyed out.

Expected Results:  
'Reload Live Bookmark' not greyed out.

Seems a duplicate of Bug 338118 or related.

I hadn't seen that one, but I don't think it's quite the same bug so I won't bother marking this as a dupe. Corrected the component to Places while I'm at it.

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.

We are not going to add this option, would indeed be more useful a way to reload all livemarks on demand, but at that point an add-on could easily add such an option.
