(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Daniel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

In the bookmarks menu, if I open a submenu and right-click anywhere inside it, a
tiny and empty context menu opens.  After this, clicking anywhere closes the
bookmarks menu.  Then, if I try to go back to that submenu, it won't open.  The
folder icon for that submenu is stuck in the open position.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open bookmarks menu
2.  Open any bookmarks submenu (such as "Quick Searches")
3.  Right-click inside submenu
4.  Close bookmarks menu by clicking anywhere
5.  Open bookmarks menu
6.  Attempt to open same submenu as in step 2

Actual Results:  
The submenu will not open

Expected Results:  
The submenu should have opened

I have the precise fault. Once you right click on a bookmark the folder will not
re-open. You must exit the browser and re-start to access the folder. What is
supposed to happen when you right click a bookmark?

(In reply to comment #1)
The answer to Folder lockup after right clicking appears to be that on initial
import of bookmarks not all import boxes are checked (I left out passwords etc.).
On a re-install I imported ALL and now everything seems OK.
You  m ight get away with just re-importing and checking all boxes rather than a
re-instal.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

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