In the bookmark manager, create a new folder.
Next, select a bookmark, and either cut or copy it.
Next try to insert it into the new folder.
It doesn't matter if the folder is in the opened state or the
closed state.
The bookmark is inserted above the new folder, which
is incorrect, as it should go inside the new folder.

This problem has existed for several releases of Mozilla.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new folder
2. copy or cut a bookmark
3. try to insert the bookmark into the new folder
Actual Results:  
The bookmark is inserted *above* the new folder, not into it.


Expected Results:  
The bookmark should be inserted into the new folder.


I have a 3.5 mbyte bookmark file.

I can work around the bug by editing the bookmark file via emacs.
Once there is a bookmark in the new folder, I can successfully cut and paste
new bookmarks inside the folder.

Instead of editing the bookmark file. You can paste the bookmark and then drag &
drop the bookmark into the folder.
