264641 - delete bookmark is not working after trying to delete nonexistant bookmark

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 248817

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

After deleting the last bookmark in a bookmark folder, the selection bar in
bookmark manager disappears (normally it jumps to the succeeding bookmark, but
in this case there isn't one). After now using delete with the not shown
selection, the delete doesn't work at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Bookmarks Manager
2. Select the last (bottom) bookmark somewhere
3. Delete it (selection disappears)
4. Press Delete button or Del key on keyboard
5. Select another bookmarks
6. Press Delete button or Del key on keyboard

Actual Results:  
Selected bookmark was not deleted.

Expected Results:  
Bookmark should have been deleted.

I think the selection bar should jump to the previous bookmark after deleting
the last in a folder. The way it is now, it's probably set to a null selection,
and the delete function can't cope with that.

Workaround: Restart Bookmarks Manager. Everything back to normal then.
