Seen on Windows and Mac trunk builds from 05/22 - attempt to access Properties for a line separator tested results: no matter what method you use, properties can't be accessed for line separators. expected results: properties for line separators should be available through all the various methods; context menu, bookmarks manager toolbar button.. etc.

So, fwiw, i discussed this a bit with mconnor before enabling places-bookmarks; it's not clear yet whether we're going to add this feature back. Note we do import/export separator names.

Please see my comment on the related <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404983#c9> This is a very valuable user feature for structuring users' bookmarks information. Discarding it from Firefox 3 as opposed to Firefox 2 would bring considerable trouble to all users using it.

However, the backup-restore feature does not keep the separator names.[1] [1] Confirmed on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1 using the SQLiteManager extension to examine places.sqlite.

is this a WONTFIX for 3.0.x and/or 3.1?

There is no properties UI anymore, so this is invalid in 3.1 and beyond.

Come on, this is really a silly and absolutely inappropriate attempt to bash down this very valid bug report. The "properties UI" (by which you probably mean the Properties button of the Bookmarks Manager UI) has been transformed into the implicit field on the bottom where you can change Name, Location, Tags. The bug is not really about that button, but about the capability to apply this feature (change "Name") to a separator which could *very easily* be added. I understand you do not like this feature but why do have to ignore and upset the many people that rely heavily on it?

(In reply to comment #6) > I understand you do not like this feature but why do have to ignore and upset > the many people that rely heavily on it? Stop making assumptions based on speculation. If you want to be able to name separators, you want bug 404983, not this.

OK, so then it's a duplicate, not "RESOLVED INVALID" which is really annoying, and your argument from comment 5 was bogus. Sorry I had to document this, and my unusual tone was due to the long-term neglect of this problem. If I may interpret your mention of "speculation" so that you would be willing to take up the issue and care about the bug, the better, and we would all be grateful to you...

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
