ill-formed place: url can cause problems one problem: 1) create a folder and make one of the items be a bookmark to an ill-formed place: url. 2) open the bookmark organizer, and you'll be unable to expand that folder. another problem is that you can't delete these bookmarks from the menus or toolbars. an example place uri to try is: place:folder=3&group=3&queryType=1&applyOptionsToContainers=1&sort=12&thisIsGoingToCauseProblems=1&maxResults=10 found this while working on bug #387996.

this allows forward / backward compatibility as we add (or remove) place query options.

Comment on attachment 284376 [details] [diff] [review] if we detect an unknown key, warn, but ignore it thanks seth, this is preferable behavior.

another problem this will cause is that we'll fail to backup our bookmarks to html, because we'll fail to get the uri from the nav history result node in nsPlacesImportExportService::WriteItem() and return failure.

fixed. for litmus, try bookmarking the url in comment #0. Checking in toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistoryQuery.cpp; /cvsroot/mozilla/toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistoryQuery.cpp,v <-- nsNavHistoryQuery.cpp new revision: 1.33; previous revision: 1.32 done

this is beyond the scope of FFT for Litmus

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
