Does Firefox crash? Or are you saying that after the sort finished, the
Bookmark Manager window closed as though you had clicked on its close
widget?

Firefox don't crash and i didn't say, that the closure concern the Bookmark
Manager window but the Bookmark Menu (you know, between "Go to" and "Tools").
Sorting by name items in a subforder of this menu causes the closure of this menu.

This is a dupe.  There's a bug on making menus not collapse in certain cases,
but there's a fair bit of work involved there.
