Referer Addon for bookmarks?

Post by xola »

Hope someone can help me :)

I use FF 33 in german language.

My wish is:

when i have a bookmark in my library, it looks like this:

My problem:
"Beschreibung", that means in english "description" is empty.

Is there any possibility, that there are links?!
Or in any other box.
I`m talking about the referer links, you can see on browser when you look back button

Any solution how its possiblo to have a bookmark, ike e.g. espn.com, and the description has automatic
BBC.news.com
CNN.com
inside...

Hope i could translate my problem.
Thanks!

I think what he is asking for, is when he saves a Bookmark, he wants some of the prior history items or direct referrers stored under the Description section.

However I'm not sure what use this would be as that path doesn't really necessarily mean anything... and links stored in there are not "live" so you would have to open the Library, expand the More button, manually select the link, copy it, and then paste it into the URLbar in order to use it.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Yes, right!
It sounds "easy" but there seems no addon for that :(

What use?
Well, its important for investigation!
For example Academic Writing / Citation and so on.
It really takes long to copy each link into description.

And later, you could combine it with "documentation" tools/software.
