With regard to UI, our initial goal for Places is to implement the legacy bookmarks & history UI on top of the Places back-end. However, some improvements and changes over the legacy UI have been done, this page will be used to track those.
Global
- The context menu for multiple items selection no longer has the Open, Open in New Window and Open in New Tab menu-items. These were partially broken in the legacy UI (and with undefined behavior)
- The replacement is the Open All in Tabs menu-item which now also supports multiple URL items selection. Unlike its behavior for folders, when Open All in Tabs is called for multiple URL item selection it always appends the new tabs.
- On OS X, the label of the Properties menu-item has been changed to "Get Info".
Bookmarks
- The bookmarks toolbar folder is no longer a child of the bookmarks menu folder. As a result of that:
- There are two root folders in both the bookmarks sidebar and the organizer window.
- The toolbar contents is not accessible from the bookmarks menu
History Sidebar
From bug 369407:
- The Collapse/Expand menu-item for containers has been removed.
- The "Copy Link Location" menu-item has been replaced by the generic "Copy" item . The new command also copies the node title (this improves the case of pasting into another places view, like the bookmarks toolbar).
- Context menu for multiple items selection is supported.
