329804 - Refusal to delete more than a few bookmarks folders

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P2)

Description

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a new profile with an imported bookmarks.html file.
2. Then on the bookmarks toolbar folder start deleting folders.
3. After the second or third folder it stops deleting folders.
4. Then when I go on attempting to delete some bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar folder I get a new, never seen error: Assertion Failed.
I'll attach a screenshot of it.
I could repeat this three times.

Hm, I think now Bug 330031 is a duplicate for the troubles began when I wanted to delete a folder with separators. And after that Firefox got so refused that it threw errors. Sorry.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
