Bookmarks are known url's to Mozilla/Firefox so why not use them? I haven't seem this feature in any browser yet and imo it would be a very good one to extent Mozilla's/Firefox's usability.

That bug is about bookmark keywords, not all bookmarks, a subtle distinction.

With the move to Places, this is now the default behavior, so can this bug be marked FIXED?

Isn't this sort of a dupe of bug 393570? Or is it just that this bug will be fixed by that one?
Its not really a dupe, but its close to the same thing.

> Its not really a dupe, but its close to the same thing. mconnor is right, here's the difference: for this bug, when attempting to autocomplete, the fix in bug #394038 now makes it so we search history title and url (in moz_places) and also the bookmark title. for bug #393570, I think we will need to make sure that unvisited bookmarks are not hidden in order to autocomplete against them.

already part of the fix for bug #393570

How should the bookmark title be shown? The patch that fixes bug 393570 will just show the bookmark title. Should it also show the destination page's title as well if it's available? Something like.. Cool site -- Mozilla Home Page where -- is a long dash — that separates the bookmark title from the place title.
My opinion is the bookmark title should override the page title. The page title is the default bookmark title when you type Ctrl-D, and if the user makes an additional effort to edit it, they know best. So I'm happy that the patch behaves like it does.
> My opinion is the bookmark title should override the page title. this was beltzner and faaborg's opinion as well, see bug #411452 the fix for this has landed as part of bug #394038, but I'll leave it to dietrich to mark it fixed. (perhaps he is keeping it open to ensure we have tests written for it?)

dietrich, could we clone and modify your test_000_frecency.js (or test_history_autocomplete_tags.js) to test this? somewhere we in bugzilla beltzner/faaborg wrote that we should be preferring bookmark title to page title, if the bookmark title matches. it seems like we should be able to write a unit test for both: a) autocomplete should find unvisited bookmark titles b) autocomplete should prefer bookmark title of page title. additionally, we could have unit tests for: c) autocomplete should not find unvisited livemark items d) autocomplete should find visited livemark items (sorry for lobbing work at you from the sidelines!)
