want to put the link into will drop down but instead of displaying the existing
links in the folder the entire drop down is whited out

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder on the personal tool bar
2. Add 2 - 3 bookmarks into that folder
3. goto a web page that you haven't book marked
4. Drag the url from the address bar of that web page into the folder with the
links you just created

Actual Results:  Folder that you drage the url to drops down but instead of
displaying the links in that folder, the drop down is whited out

Expected Results:  Display links in that drop down, when you release the mouse
with the URL  the url will appear in the drop down, along with the existing links

taking.
I think we should disable the drag into folder feature on Mac, til there is a
real fix.
Disabling this feature is simply performed by setting isPlatformNotSupported
(navigatorDD.js) to true for the Mac.
But we can also drop the timer emulation that I wrote when we could not fire
timers during DND on Windows. Now, this timer emulation is used only for the Mac
platform, where the feature is broken.
Pink, what do you think about that?

Ooops, forgot to cc pinkerton. Pink: what do you think about this Mac specific
bug? Are you in favor to drop the timer emulation, as I am?

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

not having touched any of that code for a while, i don't feel very comfortable
r='ing it. perhaps someone on xpapps would be better suited.
