Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Pedro Bessa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090616 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090616 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When you select ONE site in your history, then right click the site, there is an alternative to exclude the site AND an alternative to forget all about the site, but when you select MORE THAN ONE site in your history, then right click any of the sites, there is an alternative to exclude the sites, BUT NO alternative to forget all about the sites! Please, read the additional information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click Bookmarks
2. click Organize Bookmarks
3. click HIstoric
4. right click a page
(there is exclude this page AND forget all about this page)
5. hold CTRL
6. left click a page
7. left click an other page
8. release CTRL
9. right click one of the sites
(there is exclude this page, BUT NO forget all about this page)
Actual Results:  
There is no Forget All About This Page in the right click menu for more than one site at the same time.

Expected Results:  
There is Forget All About This Page in the right click menu for more than one site at the same time.

Forget All About This Page is a feature, Exclude This Page is an other. The meaning is very similar. If the person who talks to you think they are the same, the person who talks to you will think Forget All This Page is appearing in the right click menu when Exclude This Page actually is what is appearing in the right click menu.

By the way, there is "Open all in tabs" for one folder, but not for more than one folder.

By the way, there is "Open in new window" for one site, but not for more than one site.

By the way, I deleted all my tags (g, not b!), so I can't check if there is a right click menu alternative that appears for one tag, but not for more than one tag (g, not b!).

Are you not listening? Firefox was updated AFTER I posted this bug! Why did you not debug it? I love the "forget all about this site" feature!

Will Firefox 3.5 final (the version after the last release candidate) have this bug???

>Are you not listening?

With all due respect, there were just over half a million bugs in bugzilla when this one was filed.  So the lack of listening is more based on the amount of information we have to consume, as opposed to meaning any offense.

>when you select MORE THAN ONE site in your history, then right click
>any of the sites, there is an alternative to exclude the sites, BUT NO
>alternative to forget all about the sites!

This would indeed be nice to have.

There is an add-on called Mass Forget which solved this problem.
