Tried this one myself, WFM... are you sure that the bookmark has the URL spelled
correctly, and that the bookmarked site in question is not simply down?

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

This sounds like network or DNS issue on the PC this was happening on, but could also be a profile issue - please try this with a new profile and/or in safe mode and see if it still happens.

If this is still happening with a recent build (latest trunk or latest release), please reopen.
