Details
seen on windows commercial trunk build 2002-08-28-04-trunk -open sidebar bookmarks tab it is blank... tab is unusable -open Bookmarks | Manage Bookmarks the window that opens is also blank... bookmarks manager is unusable I am just guessing that these are related. If they are seperate issues, let me know and I'll split one off into another bug.

Confirming on WinXP 2002082804 trunk and Confirming on Win95 clean install (Virtual PC) 2002082804 trunk
This is happening in classic skin only. Both sidebar bookmarks and bookmarks manager work fine in Modern theme. Reducing to critical. Workaround is to use modern theme.

really reducing to critical
Severity: blocker → critical
Note: Tracy *did* reduce the severity to Critical. It was then changed by dgk@metrocast.net back to Blocker status without any Comment. (See Bug Activity.)
seeing this on linux and mac builds also changing os and platform to all oh, and thanks Jason. :-)

Mac OS 9.1 Build 20020828808. Same thing. It worked with build 20020827
*** Bug 165294 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
For the record, I didn't change the status from Critical to Blocker. I just added my eMail to the cc list. The status change must have been caused by a mid-air collision btw TWalker and I (not that Bugzilla told me about it).
this IS a blocker to me ... anyway, its a very recent regression

as of commercial trunk builds: windows 2002-08-29-04-trunk linux 2002-08-29-04-trunk mac os9 2002-08-29-03-trunk This appears fixed with new profiles and profiles created with recent builds. However migrated 4.x profiles still exhibit this in classic skin. changed summary to reflect this I can't recall if theme switching is an accepted workaround. If not, this would be a blocker.
Summary: Bookmarks manager and sidebar bookmarks tab blank (unuasable) → Bookmarks manager and sidebar bookmarks tab blank with migrated profile in classic theme
MacOS X 10.2, appears to be the same bug During the "popup blocker crash bug" I used latest-1.1 builds instead of latest-trunk. Last night I downloaded 2002082808. Ever since then, the Manage Bookmarks... window has been blank, and appears at a size of 2048x(larger than 768). Just to be sure, I deleted all of my prefs, no change.
Still seeing this in 20020828908 trunk WinXP. It appears that if you start with a new profile (I deleted my Application Data\Mozilla folder and started Mozilla), then the bookmarks tab is blank. You can workaround this by switching to Modern -- then when you switch back to Classic you can see the bookmarks tab.
This is a very good workaround. Worked for Mac OS 9.1
Once again, my workaround is to use latest-1.1 instead. :-(
Interesting observation (Linux). I could not use bookmarks. I changed to the ugly modern theme, changed something and went back. Now I can again use bookmarks in classic theme. pi
did the same on win2k, but after 2 restarts the bug was back ...
ben, are you going to be able to help us with this? Anyone that's seeing this, can you please try to determine which was the first build to have this regression?
Keywords: useless-UI
I have not seen this with recent trunk builds. It seems to have gone away on commercial builds, at least.

WFM since 2002090108 trunk win2k again
WFM. To test, I installed 1.1 release. The error showed up after replacing that version with a trunk build. Then I installed (after simple uninstall, no manual deletion) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/2002090504. No problem with bookmarks. pi
Can anyone still reproduce this?
FYI, I'm using a third party theme "Pinball" and am having problems with the sidebar as well. The Manage Bookmarks works fine. I've only used standard releases, upgrading with each release since AT LEAST 0.99 ... I tried switching back to modern, still no bookmarks in my sidebar :(
No longer blocks: 1.2a
On Linux using Netscape 7, I consistently see this behavior. I'm not reporting this as a Mozilla bug since I'm using Netscape on Linux, but I wanted to provide my feedback anyway. Peace.....
same problem also occuring on every nightly windows Phoenix build since 1/16
This bug has been reported @ http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119975 and is therefore a duplicate to Bug 119975
