277269 - Bookmarks do not work - at random intervals, Firefox just won't go to a bookmark

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[jcaesar]

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

I click the Bookmarks menu and click again on my bookmark. Sometimes the menu
just closes, but the page does not change. This does not appear to be page
specific as it has happened with a new launch with a blank start page.
Restarting Firefox usually works. Sometimes, navigating to a new page (back
arrow, address bar) clears up the problem. Sometimes.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Bookmarks menu
2. Click on bookmark
3.

Actual Results:  
menu closed
tried again
tried again with different bookmark
closed browser

Expected Results:  
um go to bookmarked page?

This seems to be a random but annoying problem, especially when you are using
multiple windows: click a bookmark and instead of waiting for the page, work in
another window only to come back and find the bookmark never loaded and say "I
thought I clicked that" and click again only to find the Bookmarks are not working.

I am also experiencing this bug. This has been happening since well before the
release of 1.0

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.

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