User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 Build Identifier: Fennec/1.0a3pre Fennec should mark pages as favorite when the star button is pressed but currently Fennec creates bookmarks when the button is pressed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to any page 2. Drag control strip to view 3. Tap star icon Actual Results: Fennec creates a bookmark Expected Results: Fennec tags page as favorite Also the star button needs an additional state. Currently it has 3 states: normal, pressed and favorite. it needs the pressed favorite as well to alleviate user confusion.
Why is the distinction important? What do you mean by "favorite"?
to my knowledge the "star" icon creates the favorite tag that is then used in the sorting of awesomebar results. Favorite pages then show up in the awesomebar results as favorite pages and they are prioritized and not forgotten even if the user doesn't visit the page often. Bookmarks on the other hand are pages that the user visits often and can be customized and managed by the user (editing name, filing under folders ect.)
Ah, I see. That's not quite how it is implemented, though. "Starred" is equivalent to "bookmarked", and tags are not related to the star at all. We do prioritized bookmarked pages in general. This is the same model that's used in Firefox, as far as I know.
After talking to the Firefox places devs, the Fennec behavior is correct. Marking invalid.

sorry for bug spam. Many of the bugs which are marked invalid, I see comments telling it occurred in one version or other. But later it was fixed due to 1) by backingout the patch which made regression or 2) by fixing some other bug. So if we can identify the bug/patch/reason then we should state that and mark those as FIXED. If not mark as WORKSFORME in that case.
