Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.have a bookmarklet in your pers.toolbar or bookmarks 2.right-click, properties 3. Actual Results: there is no "extra" tab Expected Results: the possibility to set an icon for everything that fits under bookmarks

Confirming for developer review. Pierre?

This is the same as bug 121348, "[RFE] Custom Web-Site Icons for Bookmarks".

taking QA contact, sorry about the bugspam

The properties windows allows you to change "name", "location" "keyword" and description. We just have to add a "icon URL" zone in this window. So one can erase the icon URL, modify the icon URL or add an icon URL. This UI change can be done without too much pain. PS: the icon should be DISPLAYED also in the property window !!

actually, the dialog box sems to work as of this date, using the "browse" button to locate the custom icon - but firefox does NOT change the icon (it does display in the dialog window, though); evidently, the dialog box isn't actually telling firefox where that custom icon is.....

I filed bug 310123 yesterday not detecting it was duplicate of this bug when doing search yesterday - apologies for that. I notice in the comments here that Rastignac suggests a dialog box to contain icon related widgets for user modification. I think this approach should universally work for both bookmarks and folders alike. In fact, a Favicon Picker extension already exists to handle bookmarks. My filing of bug 310123 was to extend the icon support to include folders. Having a JS call similar to updateBookmarkIcon to support folders would suffice for us extension authors.

Later versions don't seem to have ANY way to change the icons in the bookmarks, although it does seem to be doing better at finding the favicon.ico of the page that gets bookmarked. Problem is when the web page doesn't have a facicon.ico to save. How about putting the function back that allows you to change the .ico that gets associated with the bookmark? And making sure it works correctly, of course... <G> Tom

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

See also bug 264241, which is specifically about assigning icons to *folders* of bookmarks.

This doesn't sound like a candidate for a core feature, but we should also make sure it's possible for an add-on to be able to do this.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h". In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows: Tools | Message Filters Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New" Conditions: Body contains places-to-b-and-h Change the action to "Delete Message". Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top. Click OK. Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter. Gerv

Add-ons can to this already and it's not really a core feature, a few users may find it neat, but most users won't really care to specify special icons for each bookmark.
