I cannot open the images...

This is very strange, I was expecting this issue to be gone with bug 992901. I wonder if bug 988070 has anyway improved this. Would you mind trying reproducing the bug with Firefox 32?
So, should one create 5 nested folders in unsorted bookmarks and some bookmark into each of them to reproduce this? Having complete steps to reproduce would greatly help.

Not at all: 
Another question about this was asked last week for tracking I am adding it to the bug.

So, I tried to reproduce this bug but I couldn't.
The attached files are not really useful, they are result of the bug, but don't help reproducing the bug.

It's still unclear to me if the bug reproduces in Firefox 32 (Beta) for you, comment 10 didn't clarify that to me. Does the bug still reproduce in Firefox 32?

As well as I don't have good steps to reproduce the bug starting from a new profile and creating bookmarks through the ui (step by step)
