270694 - similar to 267946. Page won't load if clicking on a bookmark in the Bookmark Menu

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Sil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I click on the Bookmark Menu. It fully and regularly opens, and so do
subfolders. I point my mouse on any bookmark, and the URL is correctly shown in
the status bar. So I click on the bookmark: I expect the Bookmark Menu to
disappear and the page to load. The Menu in fact disappears; unfortunately, the
page won't load, not its URL appear in the address bar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on "Bookmark" (between "Go" ad "Tools")
2.Choose any bookmark of your liking.
3.Click on it.

Actual Results:  
Bookmarks menu disappears. That's it.

Expected Results:  
Bookmarks menu disappears, page loads in the browser and its URL shown in the
address bar.

I had some difficulties in updating from Firefox 0.8 to 1.0, I must admit. Maybe
it's the Operating System. For example, I had disabled the extension RSS reader,
even uninstalled it, but it still showed in the sidebar! (then I resolved the
problem). Also, the menu bar frozen at a point.

This has to be caused by either an extension or a bad install. Try creating a
new profile or doing a clean reinstall and see if you can reproduce it again.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
