This was the output i got after trying to insert a New Live Bookmark:

A Programming error has been detected: it probably isn't fatal. The program may behave erratically from now on (indeed, it's been erraticall, this notification appears every time i've launched the browser. The bookmark is working, though. I haven't restarted the system.)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Reproducible: Always

That's a bug in your Deskbar Gnome Applet, not in Firefox (not that we'd accept a bug in Ubuntu's version of Firefox unless you could also reproduce it in a Moz-official build, since we have no idea what they've done to it, or control over what they do to it, but it's not even in their Firefox).

When you report it to the applet developer, please let him or her know that live bookmarks added manually from the bookmarks manager will have an empty href, and only a value for feedhref, since that's where it looks like his code is barfing.
