Places Plan

Roadmap for future work on Places, the SQLite-driven Bookmarks and History system.

Tagging
- bulk editing (bug 412002)
- autocomplete (bug 415960)
- querying (searching, filtering)
- quick-tag

Awesomebar
- API hooks (frecency bonus, external providers?)
- expose frecency in the query infrastructure
- portability (Weave)

External
- Weave integration?
- user-specified db location (or html/json?)
- tags in HTML export/import?

Database
- move tags out of bookmarks folder (avoid data duplication and perf)
- use relation tables for keywords and tags (avoid null filled columns)

Library
- add back preview for bookmarked items (db size issues)
- add back advanced search UI
- allow one-click bookmarking
