Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Claud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Opening sidebar to history and highliting item and right clicking gives a menu
offering 'DELETE'. Yesterday, I could delete items with this option. Today I can't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In 'VIEW', select 'SIDEBAR-HISTORY'.
2.Right click on an item - highlites the item and gives a drop-down menu with
'DELETE' at the bottom.
3.Clicking the 'DELETE' in the drop-down menu does nothing.

Actual Results:  
The drop-down menu disappears and the highlited item remains highlited. Nothing
deletes.

Expected Results:  
Should have deleted the highlited item.

Reporter, you said that it used to work before. Have you installed any extension
or theme recently that might be causing the bug? Run Firefox in Safe Mode,
reproduce the steps and let us know if the problem still occurs.
Anyway, you should also upgrade to version 1.0.4 and retest the bug, to see if
this issue was fixed in any of the latest releases.

History clears after TOOLS - OPTIONS - PRIVACY - HISTORY - CLEAR.  But exit and
restart Firefox and ALL History files still present.  Same if individual links
are deleted in sidebar.  Same if view changed in sidebar.  Same if themes are
set to default.  Same for most updated version.  Same if using a freeware,
history clear program (CClear).  Same if History # days set to 0, 1 or 9. Other
quirk - "2 days ago" folder is missing.
