Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 235244

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040623 Firefox/0.9.0+

In the bookmarks menu and bookmarks bar, bookmarks can be moved with the left
mouse button.
But bookmark-folders only can be moved if the user holds down SHIFT while
holding down the left mouse button.

This is inconsequent, not intuitive and bothering!


In IE boomark-folders can be moved in the same way as bookmarks, just with the
left mouse button. There is no need to press SHIFT.

They (IE) just close already open boomark-folders if the user begins to drag them...

I think you should also allow bookmark-folders (in the bookmarks menu and
bookmarks bar) to be moved without holding down SHIFT, like IE does.

Reproducible: Always

I see this as bug, because I see no sense in handling bookmark-folders other
than bookmarks.
