(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Chris Blevins]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2

Whenever I try to drag an icon for a url from the address bar to place it on the bookmarks bar, I find that I have to hurridly drag and release it before an information popup come up. ("Drag and drop an icon to create a link to this page.") Once the popup appears, the icon will not place into the bar, it simply disappears from your mouse arrow. I haven't tried this on the windows version of the beta2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any website
2.Try to drag the icon from the address bar to the bookmark bar. 
3.If you don't release the mouse button before the information popup appears, you won't be able to place the icon/url into the bar.

Actual Results:  
described above.

Expected Results:  
The information bar is useful if you don't know exactly how to do it, but it shouldn't block the user from being able to do what it says. 

regular default theme. haven't tried others.
