Description

[t35t0r t35t0r]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Bookmarks -> choose any -> right click -> properties does not open the
properties dialog. Also I just migrated all from mozilla 1.7.1 at firefox
installation. I don't know if this has anything to do with it not working here
but it shouldn't because I can still see the properties from the bookmark manager.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmarks
2. Right click
3. Properties

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
properties dialog should be shown

Ok it seems that, firefox doesn't automatically know how to deal with imported
bookmarks on FIRST RUN (yes even from mozilla) without opening the bookmark
manager -> properties and then quitting firefox and restarting it.

Temp Resolution:
1) Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> right click -> properties (or click
properties button in toolbar)
2) Close the properties dialog, bookmark manager, and firefox.
3) Restart firefox. Bookmarks -> right click a bookmark -> properties it works now

...but this behavior should be fixed so that it works on first run. In another
words if it can open from the bookmark manager -> properties on first run, why
can't I just do the same thing when i right click a bookmark right off the
bookmarks menu -> properties. It should basically do the same thing as going to
the bookmark manager.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
