Actually not reproducible, and more touchy. I now have been able to navigate beyond the opening of "bookmarks toolbar folder" and into folders of bookmarks residing there. I recently experienced a crash (not hang) after I clicked on a link in one of these folders. This link does not cause trouble when used through the in-browser toolbar dropdown menu.
