Saving bookmarks from 'Tabs list' view is not same as saving bookmarks from webpage view.

Saving bookmarks from 'Tabs list' view is not same as saving bookmarks from webpage view.

1) It doesn't default to 'edit' option after saving but to 'view' option.

2) 'view' bookmark option from 'Tabs list' doesn't default to bookmarks &/ bookmark folder just saved, but to top level view, i.e. , 'Bookmarks' folder view.

3) Doesn't indicate previously saved tabs in the 'Tabs list' view.

_____Difficulties:

Points 1) & 2) above means that I can't easily edit the bookmarks I just saved. I have to remember or lookup where I saved a bookmark and then find the folder and then find the page(s) to edit the bookmark.

Point 3) from above means that I have to either reselect webpages I may already have bookmarked or lookup which ones I may have already saved and exclude them.

____Suggestion:

While saving bookmarks from 'tabs list' view:

i) Perhaps while saving bookmarks from 'Tabs list' , 'save in folder' option could be displayed.

ii) If 'save in folder' option is not displayed, atleast 'edit' option be displayed.

iii) If only 'view' option is displayed, then it should open up to the bookmark folder just saved with the bookmarks just saved highlighted.

_____ Thank you.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. When a Mozilla employee jumps into a discussion, you'll see the Mozilla Staff label next to their name.

If you wish, you can leave feedback for developers on the Mozilla Connect website. Click the Firefox Menu Fx89menuButton button in the toolbar, click Help and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback is collected by a team that reads it and gathers data on the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Hi, Thanks for the detailed response and all the useful links.

I couldn't find the above option in my browser but the links worked.

I am looking in 'Mozilla Connect'. If I post either a bug report or a suggestion, I will link it here later.

Thank you. (((Have a nice day *))).
