"Bookmark This Tab...": In "Add Bookmark" dialog box, "Show all the bookmarks folders" pushbutton no longer works correctly in Dell XPS 4100 desktop [after installing a new NIC card, 3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)]. No problem previously, nor with an IBM OEM T30 ThinkPad.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. right click tab
2. left click on Show pushbutton to open scrolling list box.
3. instead, "New Folder" pushbutton is displayed to the left of "OK" and "Cancel" pushbuttons.




To workaround: 
1. Save the bookmark in "New Folder".
2. Rename the "New Folder" such as "Bookmark Cache"
3. Save future bookmarks in the renamed new folder (which will appear in the pulldown history list).
4. Move bookmarks from the new folder as appropriate.

Fixed bug by replacing "C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Foote\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox" with external hard drive backup, "H:\Backups\FOOTE D5DC2C582 Data Backup Set 1\C\Documents and Settings\Bill Foote\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox"
