462675 - Bookmarks cannot be added under a tag within the Library

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2] (away 07/21 - 08/08)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081101 Minefield/3.1b2pre ID:20081101020236

It is not possible to add a bookmark under a tag inside the Library. The context menu hasn't a menu item anymore and even via the toolbar it's disabled. Using drag&drop to add a bookmark is the only way to accomplish this action.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a bookmark and assign a tag e.g. "bug"
2. Go to the Library, open the tags container and select the newly added tag
3. Open the context menu in the left and right pane => adding a bookmark is not available
4. Use the toolbar => even no way to add a bookmark

IMO we should be consistent in offering the possibility to directly add bookmarks to a tag. Due to it's working for d&d we should also make it available via context menu or the Library toolbar.

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.
