622051 - Remove support for microsummaries

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 524091

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Philipp von Weitershausen [:philikon]]

I'd love to get some data on how many people have microsummaries (I volunteer writing a test pilot study for it if we don't have this data yet), but I'm willing to bet even power users generally don't. Five bucks says it's mostly us with our bugzilla queries. :p

Unless I'm proven wrong I'm going to suggest that we remove support for microsummaries.

P.S. As with livemarks (bug 622049), if power users insist on this feature, I suggest deferring to the add-on space.

It's very useful for creating "live" titles, with help of this add-on

I'm absolutely certain this could be implemented without microsummary support in the core.
