keywords: firefox (111.0 (64-bit)) issue/ bookmarking/ ubuntu. hi, before this version, when i drag a link from the tab link bar, to a bookmark folder, it names the link properly using information from the site (link). eg. a youtube page link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v-gvRxmINg before, when dragged to bookmark, it is named as the video name: 8 Reasons to QUIT CHROME and USE BRAVE Instead! . this helpful to know what the bookmark.

but now, the name is simply the link, ie, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v-gvRxmINg. this is a terrible name.

not sure whether this is the right place for this. this is either a bug or a "new" feature that i have to configure manually the behavior of bookmarking.

this is the info of firefox: -- see attached file. 111.0 (64-bit)

p.s. bookmarking by hitting the star in the lik bar works fine. the link is named via the page name and not its link. it is dragging link that seems broke. dragging is useful when you want the bookmark link in some specific position in the bookmark folder. e.g. top in the folder. so i can quickly check the site when needed. hitting the star for bookmarking will add the link to the bottom of the folder. too much work to scroll down.

thanks
