61924 - Should be able to add bookmarks with a right click on location bar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Mike Kowalski]

When you right click on the location bar, you should be able to add the site to 
bookmarks. With this feature you would be able to add sites to bookmarks 
without actually visiting the site. So the menu will include: Undo, Cut, Copy, 
Paste, Delete, Select All, Add Bookmark.

Same answer as bug 61924 : this would crowd the UI. If you want to add a
bookmark without visiting the site open the sidebar or launch the bookmarks manager.

Fabian meant bug 61923 when he said "same answer as"

This may crowd the UI, but if somebody doesn't have the sidebar selected, then 
it would be a good feature to include. I think this should be an option in 
preferences.

This would just make it really easy to add bookmarks for URLs which don't exist. 
And if you think there should be a preference for it, then please (a) describe 
how the preference would be worded so that people could understand why it 
existed, and (b) state which of the current preferences you would remove to make 
room for it.

It should be worded as "Add Bookmark from location bar". It should be added to 
either Toolbars or Smart Browsing in preferences.

Comment 6

[Mike Kowalski]

In the menu, it should say Add to Bookmarks.

Comment 7

[Mike Kowalski]

In the menu, it can also be worded "Add Bookmark".

How about clicking on the location icon to add the bookmark? I think that would 
be better.

See also bug 18052. Allowing to add bookmark by single clicking (or maybe it 
would be better for double-clicking in case you clicked by accident) would 
complement this bug nicely.

The address field in Navigator is a text field. There is no compelling reason 
to make its context menu different from the context menu for any other text 
field -- indeed that would be confusing for the people trying to use the 
context menu for its normal purpose, that is, editing the URL. WONTFIX.
