(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

On windows platform, drag & drop in bookmarks menu shows dragged item highlighted and overlaying other bookmarks. It is not immediately obvious where the bookmark is actually dropped. Also, it is not possible to drag bookmarks to a sub folder.

I'm suggesting two improvements:
- added a divider similiar to the bookmarks sidebar to show drop target position
- enable bookmarks menu to drag&drop into/across sub folders


Reproducible: Always

Any chance looking into this? Functionality is way below par to eg. IE?

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.
