I can confirm this.

Reporter means bookmark folders beginning with "-" (hyphen), not those beginning
with "a". This also happens for bookmarks not just folders. Bookmark Manager
shows them but they do not appear in Bookmark menu. A narrow box with a light
grey border is displayed instead.

I can confirm this using Mozilla 1.8a4 (8/28/04 build) running on MacOSX 10.3.5.

Starting a bookmark folder name with a hyphen causes a separator to be created
instead. So, if you make a folder called "-Bob", then you'll see a separator
line added at this point and nothing else. (The part after the hyphen is ignored.)

I can still reproduce this problem with Firefox ( Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC
Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050810 Firefox/1.0+ ). I'm using Mac
OS X 10.4.3.
