401506 - Can't save a new bookmark to a subfolder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 401333

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

1. Visit unbookmarked page
2. Click Star
3. ...again
4. Click expander button next to Folder <select>

Nothing happens. IIRC, this should bring up a tree view that allows selecting subfolders.

Error Console shows: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "'Illegal value' when calling method: [nsITreeView::isContainerOpen]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/places/editBookmarkOverlay.js :: EIO_toggleFolderTreeVisibility :: line 574"  data: no]

It updates its build, or it gets the hose again.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
