Places is a new system for storing bookmarks, history, and other information about pages. It is currently scheduled to go into Firefox 3. This document covers much of the design and user-interface of Places. Developers looking into using places should see the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Places developer documentation].

Note: Places has been disabled on the Trunk, as announced at the [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/StatusMeetings/2006-09-20 9/20 Gran Paradiso Status Meeting], pending redesign. Once work is underway, we'll see about getting some of the tinderboxes to do Places builds alongside the non-Places builds.
Status: History-on-Places is currently enabled on the trunk, and is in A2. Bookmarks-on-places is targeting A4. Tinderboxes for Bookmarks-on-Places are in [http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=MozillaTest Test Tinderbox].


We'll be using the [news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.firefox mozilla.dev.apps.firefox] newsgroup and this wiki for discussion and communication.

As noted above, Places is currently disabled in the "trunk" build of Firefox. To use Places you must enable it at build-time using --enable-places. Detailed instructions for building Firefox are available in the [[mdc:Build Documentation|MDC Build Documentation]]. Alternatively, you can download a place-enabled build at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/experimental/places/ (windows only unfortunately).
Places is currently enabled in the "trunk" build of Firefox, but only for History. To use Places for both bookmarks and history, you must enable it at build-time using --enable-places-bookmarks. Detailed instructions for building Firefox are available in the [[mdc:Build Documentation|MDC Build Documentation]].


Places builds are unstable and are recommended only for developers at this time.
