Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 298502

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[wmcmurtray]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

In Mac OS X 10.2 (haven't checked in later versions of OSX), Firefox 1.5 will freeze when you click and hold over a folder in the bookmarks bar.  Does not happen with normal bookmarks, but is repeatable with folders.  Cursor beachball starts spinning, and a box for the folder's contents is drawn, and stays on top OF ALL WINDOWS, including those outside firefox.  Firefox becomes unresponsive after this. I've waited as long as 5 minutes before force-quiting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on folder in bookmarks bar
2.Do not release for at least half a second
3.Crash

Actual Results:  
I had to re-fill this form after firefox crashed.

Expected Results:  
Not crashing would be a good start. =]
