User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+

The "Add Bookmark" window is not shown centered, when Ctrl+D is pressed. I
retains it's window position.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to some website.
2. Type Ctrl+D
3. Move the "Add Bookmark" window to some corner location, and click Cancel.
4. Now type Ctrl+D again. You see that the window is shown in the corner
position rather than in the centered to the screen.



Expected Results:  
Must have been centered everytime.

prob INVALID, i.e. behaving as designed. All the Tools windows work like this
(java console, download manager, etc).

Do you always need it centered and don't want it to remember where YOU put it?

I just saw the behavior of IE. When you click Favorites->Add to favorites, the
favorites window always comes only at one location (somewhat to left corner).

So just wanted that Firefox also show the bookmarks window in the center.

Remembering position is generally a good thing, since if you moved it, it was
probably somewhere you didn't want it.  Sometimes, yes, it can mess things up if
you stick a dialog somewhere really odd, but if you leave it centered, it stays
centered, so there's no real need to fix this.

OK. I agree with your point. But I think the actual build must come with default
as centered position. And it's left to user what to do with the centered window.
