Comment on Mozilla UX: Save For Later (why bookmarks are broken and how to fix it)

Comments

The most interesting and important topic which is near and dear to me and I find it totally unbelievable that nowhere in your article/study above, you make a single mention of the browser History and how it correlates with the user's need and habit of saving-of-bookmarks. Browser history (in theory) is basically your bookmarks which you never saved manually but they are there in your browser available for you at the command. Now, how Mozilla is going to upgrade its long-overdue Bookmarks Manager without paying any attention to the History feature, is beyond me.

In any case, I welcome this blog post. It's been a long time. One thing I really hope Mozilla does is that they get rid of their tags, or at least they come to some sort of standards with other browsers. Nobody else is supporting the tags as Firefox and that in itself is a limitation because you are holding up the user base with your tags. And what are the odds that your article also does not discuss tags (am I missing something big here??).

Yes, you should be able to star/tag a history item, and clip highlights from the page.
