579507 - Browsing bookmarks by tag in Firefox Home

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

[Jürgen Kreileder]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b2pre) Gecko/20100716 Firefox/4.0b2pre
Build Identifier: 1.0

Currently there is no way to browse bookmarks by tags in Firefox Home.
It would be nice if bookmarks could be browsed by tag too, in addition to normal hierarchical folder-based browsing.

Rationale: Except for a few folders on the bookmarks bar, all of my bookmarks are in "Unsorted bookmarks".  The bookmarks are all tagged, though, and I used a tag menu to access them on Firefox.
The current folder-based displaying of bookmarks in Firefox Home on the iPhone is pretty useless to me because there's not much structure in it.

Reproducible: Always

We don't sync tags right now, we'll need to add this in a future release.

The Firefox Home project has been retired, and Mozilla will no longer invest in future work on this project [1]. All bugs related to Firefox Home are being mass resolved.

For those interested in continuing work on this app, the source code for Firefox Home is available on Github [2].
