(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Turbocat (All your null/null are belong to Firesomething) Firefox/2.0

If there is a bookmark folder named misc, Firefox will crash when attempting to add bookmarks to it. The dialog box that allows the user to specify details did not appear. Only one URL (http://forum.goteamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=30752) was tried, and only one method was tried (Add Bookmark Here...). Updates will be made after further testing. The URL can be (and was) added in another folder without incident.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Add Bookmark Here extension
2. Create bookmark folder misc
3. add URL as bookmark to misc

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed when attempted a second time.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have added the bookmark.

Windows gave the error, not Firefox.

WFM with Add Bookmark Here and the given URL. Maybe caused by another extension?
Could you copy a Talkback ID to this bug?

Firefox crashes whenever I add a bookmark to any any folder using Add Bookmark Here, so it's not a Firefox bug. I thought I was able to add bookmarks this way before.

INVALID would be the correct status, then, right?

Normally crashes are always valid bugs, also when they are caused by extensions.
Problem is that there is no Talkback ID. So I suggest to leave it closed.
FYI, to avoid the crash you can also simply drag the favicon, link or tab to the right spot in the bookmarks menu or bookmark toolbar. Folders will open on mouseover.

Menu Editor was the conflicting extension.
Someone even made a comment recently on this on its page on the Mozilla Addons site. I will disable Add Bookmark Here until the conflict is resolved.

I have edited the summary for accuracy.

Using "Bookmark this page" locks and crashes Firefox.

I tried to drag the IRL to Bookmark but same result. I cannot Bookmark another site.
