This would be useful if the user wants to navigate the Manage Bookmarks when adding a bookmark instead of adding it and then putting it in place later. Adding this feature may conflict with bug 40609, unless we tell the manage bookmarks window when we open it what the "current page" is.
What if there are multiple browser windows open? If I'm on Unix with a window manager using hover-to-focus, and I move over a second browser window on my way between the first browser window and the Bookmarks window, which page the `current page' is going to be decidedly non-obvious. Also, the Bookmarks would have to listen for the opening and closing of browser windows, so it could enable and disable the menu item as appropriate.

Hardware: PC → All
Alright, so "last opened" page isn't ideal. One possibility is to have it add the page that we opened "manage bookmarks" from. Another is to bring up a dialog containing a multiselect listbox that shows all of the pages currently open. The second possibility should be able to share code with bug 33328.
none of these sol'ns would be easier than just activating the window w/ your page in it and selecting add current page from there.
The problem is that the url just gets tossed into the bookmarks root. For me, that means the bookmark gets lost immediately.
Jesse, that problem would be solved by bug 47599, and would not be solved by this bug. I don't think this should get implemented, because it would be too confusing, but anyway ... Reassigning to someone who actually does Mozilla coding. Um, well, someone who can ask someone else to do some Mozilla coding, anyway.
