Firefox 6.0.1 no longer find PRINTLIMINATOR (a javascript "bookmarklet") when I search bookmarks.

It used to work with older versions and still works with Firefox 9. I have now tried this on 3 computers and same problem on each.

If I go to the folder I can see the Printliminator bookmark and I can click on it and open the bookmarklet, but typing printl into the search box does not return a match?

Same thing here, I can't search for any bookmarklet in 6.0, where in the Aurora 8.0 version I can do a search for bookmarklets - in two different Profiles. Don't know about the 7.0 beta version though, I don't have any bookmarklets saved there yet.

Set the pref browser.urlbar.filter.javascript to false on the about:config page.

Hi cor-el.

Tried that and reloaded Firefox - still not finding the bookmarklet.

I entered a new BOOKMARK called Printliminator and it finds that no problem, but the javascript bookmarklet, with the same name, still does not appear when I enter printl in the Bookmarks search box - as it did with the previous version of Firefox (and does with version 9).

Name Printliminator

Location javascript:(function(){function%20loadScript(a,b){var%20c=document.createElement('script')........{printlimator()})})})()

Is not found by typing PRINTL in the bookmarks search box.

I even added printliminator in the description and keyword fields.


Name The Printliminator

Location http://css-tricks.com/examples/ThePrintliminator/

Is found by typing PRINTL in the bookmarks search box.


The same is true for other javascript bookmarklets in my Bookmarks.

Thanks for trying to help.
