208051 - Booksmarks won't work when new window opened

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 206752

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[David Shier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030602 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030602 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

After closing all browser windows while leaving Firebird running and opening a
new one the bookmarks will not work. They will display, but when I click on them
nothing happens what so ever. There also seems to be a bug where in anyother
theme but blue monkey the book marks are not displaying until I mouse over the
name. I am not sure if this is interconnected some how but they are both rather
odd as neither of these problems seem to happen in Moz 1.4. The only available
work around for this is to shut Moz firebird down and restart the app. I have
found no other fixes for this bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.Close all browser windows
3.Open a new window
4.Attempt to go to a bookmarked webpage via the bookmark on the bookmark bar
5.Wait to see that nothing happens

Actual Results:  
I was looking at the webpage that should have been replaced by the new webpage.

Expected Results:  
Gone to the page that I clicked on in my bookmarks from the bookmark bar

This bug seems to be in all of the themes. However, as stated in the actual bug
description, in any other theme but bluemonkey the bookmark folders seem to have
the bokmark icon but no name until you mouse over the name of the bookmark, then
only that name displays.
