Description Marcus Harrison 2019-05-19 10:29:12 UTC 
SUMMARY

Changes to Firefox bookmarks (such as adding, removing, editing) are not reflected in Plasma's default Application Launcher's search results. Searching KRunner produces up-to-date results, leading me to believe this is not a bug in the runner.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Confirm that Plasma is searching existing bookmarks by typing the title of an existing Firefox bookmark.
2. Once bookmark search is confirmed as active and working, add a new bookmark in Firefox.
3. Type the title of the new bookmark into KRunner and Application Launcher.

OBSERVED RESULT

KRunner shows the new bookmark; Application Launcher doesn't.

EXPECTED RESULT

KRunner and Application Launcher both show up-to-date results.

I can confirm this behavior, the problem seems that the lifecycle methods don't get called properly.

I will look into it :-).
