Using 20040608 trunk

A bookmark named "Joe's Diner" will display as "Joe's Diner" on the Personal
Toolbar. This regressed since the 20040601 build.
This happens because Firefox mistakenly re-escapes the ampersand in HTML
entities in bookmarks. A bookmark that appears as follows:

<A HREF="http://www.foo.com/">Joe&#39;s Diner</A>

is changed to

<A HREF="http://www.foo.com/">Joe&amp;#39;s Diner</A>

Notice how the ampersand is re-escaped.
