:atrif, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

I think having "all files" be present here is somewhat expected (thinking particularly of backup .bak files and whatnot), but we shouldn't provide bogus feedback when a file is selected that has no meaningful bookmarks. Mike, is that right?

Yes, that's correct! This should be fixed by bug 1837367, fwiw.
