Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Eric Schultz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050512 Netscape/8.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 

When I sort my bookmarks menu (right-click in menu, Sort by Name) the first
sub-menu (folder) disappears until I re-start Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmark some pages
2. Organize them into sub-folders
3. In the main toolbar click Bookmarks
4. Right-click anywhere in the Bookmarks menu, select Sort By Name
5. In the main toolbar click Bookmarks
6. Notice that your first sub-menu (folder) is missing
7. Close FireFox
8. Start FireFox
9. In the main toolbar click Bookmarks
And now your missing folder is back!

Subsequent Sort By Name do not cause any further loss of sub-menus.


Actual Results:  
as described

Expected Results:  
sorted the bookmarks in the menu without losing the first folder

Using the default theme

This bug occurs every time I do the same, on 1.04 and indeed for some while
before...

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.
