534521 - bookmark dialog does not remember last-used-field

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 480151

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

Linux only.

I usually 1) click the star once, 2) then click it again and 3) go straight to the tags field.

On Mac and Windows the dialog has the tags field focused since that's what I last used. On Linux the tags field is never focused when the dialog opens.

On Firefox for Linux 18.0.1 on Ubuntu it behaves as such:

a) clicking the star adds it to Unsorted Bookmarks

b) CTRL+D adds it by default to Bookmarks Menu

If I select after CTRL+D the Unsorted Bookmarks, it will the next time still be on Bookmarks Menu by default. Please let it automatically select Unsorted Bookmarks which I used the last time.

Implementing this will allow using CTRL+D + ENTER instead of clicking star. This is faster and for users that prefer the keyboard over the mouse.

What has this to do with the original bug report that is about selecting tags field instead of name field?
Btw, I think this was implemented some time ago in bug 480151.
