has this ever worked?  I don't have older nightlies to test, but unless someone
can definitely say it has been working at some point, its not really a regression.

Attachment: Proposed fix for bookmarks menu

This patch appears to fix the problem.
The add was failing because hidePopup was being called on an object
without that method (the new folder dialog).

I'm not really sure this is the correct fix. Someone with more
expertise on this code should look at this.

ok. for example in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031203
Firebird/0.7+
works well.

I refactored the patch, but the idea was correct.
