232517 - If Bookmark Toolbar Folder is deleted if will be recreated upon restart of browser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 220932

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[THA]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: 

I deleted the Bookmark Toolbar Folder from Bookmarks on Firebird (taken from 
latest trunk om 20.01.2004) and after restarting the browser the BTF was 
recreated. I found that if I simply renamed it it would not be created anymore 
and I thus used this as a workaround.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select manage Bookmarks.
2. Delete the bookmark Toolbar folder
3. Close the browser
4. Open the browser

Actual Results:  
The BTF was recreated

Expected Results:  
let the BTF be deleted as I deleted it on purpose

This is by design, apparently.  Just to let you know, you can rename the BTF,
remove the separator between it and the next bookmark (folder), and hide the
toolbar across the top of the browser.  It now becomes essentially just another
folder.  It will still be marked as the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder internally, but
from the point of view of the user it's just a regular folder with a normal name.
