"Bookmark This Page" and "Show All Bookmarks" menus are interchanged. I usually bookmark a page by pressing "Alt + B" and then "down arrow + Enter". This I was using from a long long time. Now that the "Show All Bookmarks" became the first item, I can't do this anymore. Is there a reason for this interchange? Can you please change them back to the original place?


Reproducible: Always

Marco, has this been changed?

I think that happened in bug 625325, resoning is in that bug.

Btw, if I ALT+B and then downarrow+Enter I'm exactly on Bookmark this page, so I don't understand the steps to reproduce.

Sorry my apologies. I meant "Alt B + Enter" was my shortcut for adding a bookmark, as the "Bookmark This Page" was the first menu item in the "Bookmarks" menu. But in 6.0a2 it moved a step below, so I have to use the down arrow now with 6.0a2.

Also I noticed that the "last menu item" became "Unsorted Bookmarks". Now this is breaking my another way of reaching the "last bookmark". "Alt B + Up Arrow". Now this goes to "Unsorted bookmarks" instead of the last bookmark.

I'm cc-ing Faaborg, he can probably reply better than I could.

I feel your pain, but actually regarding Bookmark this page you may just use the real shortcut (CTRL+D) rather than make your own. The last menuitem doesn't have a shortcut, so here is unfortunately matter of build new habits (uparrow twice) :(

Thanks Marco... but old habits die hard :-) Some people whom I have worked with use the Windows menu shortcuts rather than the "Ctrl" shortcuts. You know what, in our programming world "View Source" has become a common word. But unfortunately with 6.0a2 View Source was moved to Web Developer Tools. For now I am using the Menu Editor add-on which is able to put back some menu items to old places. But unfortunately this add-on doesn't deal with Bookmarks yet. So I created "userChrome.css" to hide the first menu item and the last menu item in the Bookmarks menu, so it mimics the old menu.

This change was intentional, see bug 625325.
And as Marco said, instead of Alt+B+Enter, simply use Ctrl+D, or click the Star, or hack the menu :)
