User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When I drag a group's icon from the bookmarks manager to the desktop and try to
open it I get the error message: protocol nc is not registered by any
application (I hope this is the appropriate translation).

The shortcut's target on the desktop is something like this:
nc:BookmarksRoot#$2a0a1d83


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bm group
2. Open the bm manager
3. Drag+drop the bm group icon at the desktop
4. doubleclick on the icon on the desktop

Actual Results:  
Error message (see above)

Expected Results:  
open bookmark group

With bookmark group you mean bookmark folder?

I can reproduce that here. 

The created shortcut should start mozilla with a commandline switch to open the
bookmark manager or an action like that. Instead the shortcut points to
nc:BookmarksRoot#$3da38261  which is some abracadabra that Windows doesn't
understand. :-)

> With bookmark group you mean bookmark folder?

I meant groups as saved with "Bookmark this Group of Tabs". But with folders,
the same error occurs.
