User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

The old Firefox 1.0.6 worked perfect. When you click compose or reply it would
move the cursor into the reply box so you could just begin typing.  This new
version it does not.

Also when you click Bookmarks, right click any entry and select Delete the
bookmarks menu is not re-selectable right away. When you delete and go to click
Bookmarks again to select another entry (either to go to that bookmark or to
delete another) you click it, and it highlights as if it is going to drop down,
but does not. Then you click bookmarks again, and it unhighlights as if it was
closed.  Third time you click it, it will work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.bookmarks
2.delete entry
3.click bookmarks again
Actual Results:  
see "Details"

Expected Results:  
should open the bookmarks menu

The placement of the cursor is a function of the website (through use of
JavaScript or tabindex, for example).  The Gmail interface defines all the
textboxes as "tabindex=1", so the first one is selected by default.

As such, I'm resolving this INVALID.

Only include one issue per bug.  If you wish to have your bookmark issue
addressed, please open a new bug for it.

INVALID?

Yes for compose it does, but for replying to a message it should not.  I don't
understand how it works for Firefox 1.0.6 and not this one but its a website
function.  They both browsers should handle the function the same.

As for the bookmarks issue you said to create a new bug report if I want it
addressed.  I don't really care if its addressed, its your bug, not mine. I'll
just switch browsers!

Weird enough, I tried to reproduce it on branch and trunk but only trunk failed.
Gmail > Compose Mail and the cursor was placed into the To field. 
Tab -> and cursor went to Subject;
Tab -> and the cursor went to the Rich Formatting box, but this failed in trunk
(Plain Text was no problem).

For the bookmarks part of the bug, this could be Bug 290085.

Ahh, yep thats it.  I did a search on "bookmarks" before posting but it didn't
show that one.  Thanks
