(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Lawrence Goldman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040120 Firebird/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040120 Firebird/0.8.0+

If a window is not open, nothing happens when a bookmark is selected.  Seems
like a window ought to appear with the chosen bookmarked site, just as is the
case with other browsers.  Also, the Open File command does not work under the
same conditions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close browser windows.
2. Select item from Bookmarks menu, or--
3. Choose Open File from File menu

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Bring up the bookmarked site in a new window (for Step 2); or, bring up the open
file box (for Step 3)

See bug 83313 for the "Open File"-issue. Opening bookmarks when no window is
open appears to worksforme with Mozilla 2004011905 on Mac OS 10.2.8.
