I WANT bookmark tags to be imported from the browser

Firefox doesn't yet let extensions access this data (they track this as bug 1225916) but perhaps will in the future.

I'm not aware that chrome allows for tagging bookmarks via the browser UI.

I half-plan to add an address bar button to the browser extension to allow people to at least edit the tags there without having to go to the site. The other (and main) feature of that would be making it more obvious that you're visiting a page that you've bookmarked. Maybe it could show you "$n comments" as well.

An address bar button would be great. TBH I was only trying to add tags in Firefox to work around the bug with editing tags. Maybe should be changed to say something like

Agreed and done - will be a bit of a while until I broach the subject of an address bar button though I'm afraid!

The bug with editing tags was corrected already :)

Hi @calpaterson

Agreed and done

Could you please confirm that tags are properly imported now?

It would be a super feature, tags and Firefox are such a mess!

I'm sorry, when I said "agreed and done" I wasn't referring to the work to complete this story.

This will be one of the next things I work on though.
