Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P5)

[Shahar Or]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; he-IL; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; he-IL; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5

This doesn't work well at all.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to drag a bookmark and drop it onto your desktop.

Actual Results:  
Some times it gives an error message and sometimes it downloads the URL and saves it as a file.


Expected Results:  
I expect it to create a .desktop file with the relevant favicon and it should also work when dragging and dropping multiple bookmarks.

the original ubuntu report is about 3.0, can you confirm this still happens in current 3.5.x and eventually in 3.6 beta?

Dear Marco,

Yes, this is also the case in Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.5.

This is a confirmed bug.
I tested this in Ubuntu 10.04

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

For bookmarks, we want links.  For attachments, we want the file.
