I can confirm that behavior for the "Bookmarks Manager" and the "Bookmarks Sidebar"
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317
Firefox/1.0.2
I really wonder that hardly anyone noticed that before? The current behavior
makes the "paste" feature bookmark manager unuseable. it's completely different
to the behaviour of common file managers. this can't be on purpose.
another related problem can be found in Bug #287650

Besides the "paste into folder" issue, the very fact that pasted items get
inserted ABOVE the current cursor position (instead of BELOW it) is really
annoying (e.g. most text-editor users are used to see pasted clipboard lines
below the current line, not above it)

Hi, this is obviously a common problem in the bookmark manager, since it happens with newly created bookmarks, too. (No. 380662)

insert before is the default behavior by design in all places views
