Same behavior exhibited in OSX 10.2.8 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5) when clicking on Bookmark Toolbar item for a second time if item is a bookmark folder containing more than 1 regular bookmark.  No problem when clicking on a single regular bookmark placed in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Same behaviour for me...

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Mac OS X 10.2.8 (running on G3 iMac if that's any use whatsoever)

Is it OS-version specific?

This behavior occurs to me on OS X 10.2.8 with *any* kind of bookmark in a folder on the toolbar.  As with others, regular bookmarks do not cause the problem.  If the bookmark is in a folder off the toolbar, however, it looks like FF 1.5 goes into an infinite loop.

This bug is reliably reproducible on Mac OS 10.2.8 using FF 1.5 and FF 1.5rc1. I did the following on 2 different Macs running 10.2.8.
Starting with a fresh FF install and new profile open the Bookmarks Manager and add 2 folders under the bookmarks toolbar folder. Call them A and B.
Add bookmarks to Google.com and Yahoo.com to Folder A and also to folder B.
Close the Bookmark Manager window.
Hoover over or click on the A folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar to display the list of links in the A folder.
Hoover over or click on the B folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar to display the list of links in the B folder.
Again hover over or click on the A folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar to display the list of links in the A folder. FF will attempt to display the contents of the A folder again but will hang before displaying the item list (see attached screen shot by others)

Just to add I also get this in Firefox 1.5.  OS X 10.2.8.
I checked with a brand new profile too.  Vanilla or "live" bookmark folders do it.

The problem seems resolved in FF 1.5.0.1rc1. See FF Bug Forum thread http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2042907#2042907

After downloading FF 1.5.0.1rc1, everything is fine for me.  I no longer have the issue.
