[Off topic] New add-on idea: Auto-title bookmarks #49

Closed davidhedlund closed 7 years ago

Allows bookmark properties to be set to the current page's properties or to clipboard text quickly via the context menu. - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/update-bookmark/

That add-on is unfortunately dead.

Another add-on is exactly what I was going to recommend. I don't know if you tried it yet, but after nine years, that add-on probably doesn't work.

In my humble opinion (iMHO), add-ons should stick to a strict scope. Do one thing and (hopefully) do that one thing well.

Therefore, I don't think it makes sense to add that feature to the ASB add-on. However, I'd like to encourage you to contact that developer to show interest in that add-on and maybe they will update it. If not, you should try forking that project and updating it yourself (assuming the author doesn't mind).

Also, it should like you like to keep the web page author's title. Personally, I almost never do this. I use the original title as a starting point. I end up changing it to something that is shorter and more meaningful to me.
