276126 - Dragging URL to bookmarks in 1.0+ does not open sub-folders

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 271891

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[dww]

Version info - Gecko/20041226 Firefox/1.0+

I have items on my Personal Toolbar Folder bar which are folders of bookmarks,
many of which contain sub-folders, e.g. Top | News contains various news site links.

With 1.0 and previous versions, I could save a bookmark by dragging the icon
from the address bar onto the bookmark, seeing the list open, and then hovering
over the sub-folder (e.g. News in the above example), which then opened, so I
could drop the URL into it as a new bookmark.  This was a neat feature I used a lot.

With the 20041226 daily build, this no longer works.  I can drop the URL into
the list (Top in the above example) but the sub-folder doesn't open.

Also, editing bookmarks seems a lot slower - but perhaps daily builds are less
optimized than the 1.0 release was?

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

Shouldn't this bug's status be RESOLVED?  It was fixed some versions ago, on 2005-01-24 according to the log for <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271891">271891</a>.  I can confirm dragging URLs works fine in 1.5 on Win98.
