What do I file the RFE against?

It's just that whenever I talk about ease-of-development, the first
thing that I bring up is documentation that makes it easy. And for that,
I always go back to Javadoc. It is, by and large, the best way to hook a
developer into using ones code. Unfortunately, the thing I noticed is
that when I install javadoc packages (including the Sun manual), no
links pointing to it are ever added. If there's an API to adding
bookmarks to Firefox externally (or, better yet, a global bookmarks file
for all browsers), that would help a lot. Imagine -devel packages
hooking their documentations into Firefox. (I understand yelp is doing
it but most of the good stuff is formatted a'la Javadoc and/or is
available online like http://library.gnome.org/devel/
