Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:

 wonder whether there is still something we can do here:
 > {{{
 > Removed the description field for bookmarks. Users who have stored
 descriptions using the field may wish to export these descriptions as html
 or json files, as they will be removed in a future release.
 > }}}

 Maybe user-facing changes like this should be included within the Tor
 Browser release notes when migrating between (ESR) versions.

 But, for this case, I don't think we should re-add/re-implement this
 functionality, so I'll close it as not-a-bug.
