In mozilla, I have a lot of bookmarks and am forced to have many folders.  In
doing do, I have folders that are inside of folders.  If I click in a folder and
then click in another folder quickly (waiting a couple of seconds work), it will
close the folder that you are in.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a folder.
2.  Create a folder in a folder.
3.  Quickly click on the folder inside the folder.
(I have personally over 200 bookmarks, but do not believe this is the issue.)

Actual Results:  
Closes the folder.

Expected Results:  
Open the folder within the folder.

Default theme.
Homeland security extension 0.2.

I have the same problem too. I have a bookmark folder named as Neopets. And
inside this Neopets folder I have 3 folders named Games, Shops and Special
respectively, and also 8 bookmarks that are outside of these subfolders. 

What happened is when I bring my mouse over the Neopet folder, it will drop down
the menu containing the subfolders and the bookmarks. Then whenever I try to
hover my mouse over the Shops or Special folders (which are the 2nd and 3rd
subfolder from the top), the Neopet submenu will disappear. 

The only way around this is that I have to first hover over the first subfolder
which is Games, which will then drop-down the Games sub-menu. Then move the
mouse pointer to the folder that I want to open, eg Shops, and the submenu will
drop down nicely.

I have noticed this bug since Firefox ver 0.9.
