If the focus is on the sidebar, the context menu over the personal toolbar will
apply to the sidebar. And paste does not work.
Kazuhiko, isn't it a dupe of bug 92380?

This bug may be related to a bookmarks management problem I have seen.
You want to move a bookmarks entry to someother location in the bookmarks
file.  You click on the entry you want to move and then select "cut" from
the bookmarks management menu.  The entry disappears from the display of
entries.  You click on the entry that you you want the moved entry to 
follow.  You select "paste" from the bookmarks management menu.  Nothing
happens.  The bookmarks entry you cut will not paste.  "Undo" option in 
the bookmarks management menu is not available.  The cutted bookmarks
entry appears to have been lost.  The only apparent method of recovery is
to go back to the original web site.  Do an "add to bookmarks", open the
bookmarks management window, select the new entry from the bottom of the
bookmarks list, select "copy" from the bookmarks management menu, click on
the entry that you you want the copied entry to follow, and select "paste"
from the bookmarks management menu.  If the copied entry in where you want
it, you can go back to the bottom of the bookmarks list, select the entry
that was copied, and select "delete" from the bookmarks management menu.
This has been the only way I have been able to "move" bookmark entries in
Mozilla versions 0.9.9 and 1.0rc1 on my Red Hat 7.2 Linux system.

That sounds like bug 129428.

I got the same problem under Mozilla version 0.9.9.  However, I noticed that
very few people seam to be interested by this problem.  I am the first to vote
for it.  Is it possible that the problem occurs for only a few individuals? 
Else, such an obvious bug would be reported much more often.

There are serious problem with the bookmarks cut/copy/paste system.  For
instance, I also saw that when I cut a bookmark, sometime the entry would not
disappear, but become empty.  Another time, paste worked, but it pasted twice
the entry.  The behavior of the bookmarking system is unpredictable.

the paste command is shared by the personal toolbar and the bookmark trees
