587295 - Remove "Bookmark This Tab" from the tabs context menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

From bug 587285:

> Bookmark This Tab (never use this, but probably gets used)

Also allows bookmarking a background tab, but this doesn't seem like an
important use case.

> Bookmark All Tabs... (seems rather niche)

It's duplicated in the bookmarks menu, so it might not be needed here.

Removing the two items about bookmarking seems okay to me.

"Bookmark This Tab" in the Tab Context Menu (like "Bookmark This Page" on the old Menu) opens the Bookmark Panel, what allows you to Bookmark *and* classify (Name, Folder, Tag, Cancel) as a kind of "One-Click-Action" (as apposed to the Star-Button).

Saying this, the Removal should be bound to adding this Menu Entry to (or moving to) the new Bookmark Menu, no?

Bookmark all tabs is about to get pulled out of the bookmarks menu (otherwise we are looking at possibly having 5 items before you get to an actual bookmark).  I agree that Bookmark this Tab is needlessly redundant though.

recent tweak to the bookmarks menu: https://bug583386.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=466079

So does that mean you want to remove 'Bookmark This Tab' and keep 'Bookmark All Tabs'?

Sorry.  If so, what about the menu separator because it will look a little strange to have a menu separator - Bookmark All Tabs - menu separator.  Is there any data on how often the command is even used?  I've personally never, in my at least 6 or 7 year use of Firefox, used that command.  I could see someone wanting to use it to maybe bookmark a bunch of pictures though.

What about the separator?  Are we going to leave one menu item between two separators in the middle of a context menu?

Addresses Alex's ui-review by only removing 'Bookmark This Tab' from the tab context menu.  Still need an answer from Alex about the menuseparator though but this patch leaves the menuseparator.

This makes the BookmarkThisTab function unused. We should remove it from browser.js.
