I want to make sure that's clear to avoid unintended side effects (like making the user open the folder themselves). The intended functionality is that when the button is clicked, the bookmarks library/sidebar/etc opens the containing folder *on its own* and scrolls down (well, it doesn't actually do any visible scrolling, but opens to the position in that folder where the bookmark is) to the bookmark that the user clicked "Show in Folder" on. As well as opening the folder to where the bookmark is, the manager also highlights the folder location in the list of folders/folder tree (which AFAIK it does when you open a folder the normal way, so it's probably the same code for that). Basically, it just programmatically opens the folder and then locates the bookmark. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672139 Title: Add "Open Enclosing Folder" context menu to search results of bookmarks in the Library window (link to view/open containing folder, parent folder button) Status in Mozilla Firefox: In Progress Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Firefox is great. It has bookmarks. But it is impossible to open bookmark's folder in search results. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Open its Bookmark Manager (<Ctrl+Shift+O>) 3. Search for bookmark 4. Try to find its folder with right-click menu. 5. It is impossible to find bookmark's folder. Expected results: Firefox is mature, so it is expected that user can find bookmark's folder. For example Google Chrome has "Show in folder" menu option. Note: original bug was reported 8 years ago, but it is not fixed.
