61178 - [RFE] Bookmark a page in the history

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 48039

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Erich 'Ricky' Iseli]

It could be very useful when reviewing the history to be able to choose which
pages could be worth bookmarking. A fast way to do that (like shortcut or
context-menu, or even a new entry in the edit menu) would be needed.

If we are pushing this a little further, the feature could also apply to
multiple pages.

Currently the context menu for items in the History window is a little gray 
square. Wonderful.

Here's a suggested context menu:

  Open
  Open in New Window
  Copy Link
  Add to Bookmarks

As for the main menus, it seems very odd that I can't access my bookmarks from 
the menu bar just because the frontmost window happens to be the history window. 
Perhaps a Bookmarks menu (including an `Add Selected Items' item, where the `Add 
This Page' item would go in a Navigator window) could be added to the History 
window?

See also bug 48791, which is a more general bug about implementing a context
menu for the history window. Maybe it should be dupped to this one, since this
bug is already assigned?
