I might be wrong about Firefox BOOKMARK behavior ... but
-
I'm using Firefox 68.0.2 (64 bit) and a habit that I have been forming involves "bookmarking" webpages on a daily basis by pulling the site URL directly from the displayed address in the control at the top of the page as it appears in the browser onto the Bookmarks Toolbar (which is loaded with titled folders, as you would imagine, accounting for the passage of time/greater utility/etc). If a user does what I do in this way, he can right-click on any "saved" url and get a PROPERTIES dialog box to pop up and allow access to four things "Name", "Location", "Tags", and "Keyword". So, a shortcut with properties. Considering a shortcut ... unless I saved a whole webpage to disk and then opened that local page in the browser and THEN pulled the URL to my Bookmarks Toolbar and then set about adding KEYWORDS to that local reference through the PROPERTIES/Keywords control, I would expect that by adding keywords to a link like this, to a REMOTE webpage on some server somewhere on the internet, that such a "save" would involve tracking those added keywords locally (I know it's through a SQLite database in the Mozilla folder) and I can assume that this is indeed what the local SQLite database keeps track of, among other things. Well the behavior I observe is odd then; why does saving a webpage (as .html document for instance) to a location on a drive on my computer, placing a link to it in the bookmarks toolbar folder of choice, altering the links Properties/Keyword by adding a descriptive component, then saving that add, CHANGE THE PROPERTY OF THAT LOCAL WEBPAGE ... NOT just the link of the bookmark toolbar? It does. Somehow. Try this yourself by saving a webpage to disk, opening that saved webpage in firefox browser, sliding a link from the address control to the browser toolbar, then opening that link. Once the page is verified "here" right-click the link again, choose Properties, see the Keywords control box, and type in some new/other term. AND now, this is the important part, copy this link, paste it somewhere else in the toolbar (behind a folder perhaps), open it so the local webpage is displayed, click once again on the link, get the properties/keyword control ... see that duplicate keyword you just typed in for the original, DELETE that keyword, and type in another keyword then save. See my confusion: Load the original link again, look at properties/keyword and see that the original now has the changed keyword (the original keyword has been erased and replaced with the copy's keyword)
