No, I see this on Win2k also (gee, I didn't even know I could put text on these
separators!). But this behaviour is by design, since you can't display these
pseudo bookmarks in the browser anyway.

See bookmarks.css:

treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(Name, separator) {
  color: ThreeDShadow;
  margin: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
}

So, in other words, you shouldn't be able to add a name to a separator?

No, you should be able to do that.
But the resulting treeitem, although containing text then, is not a "real"
bookmark, it's still just a separator.
And this difference is made visible by separator text having a different color.
