Details

IF a user right clicks on an item, either bookmark or folder, in the Bookmarks Toolbar, they only get a context menu the first time. Subsequent right-clicks will not give a context menu. 

If the user selects something else with a left click or right click, like the main browser window, this resets. That allows them to right click and get a context menu (once) again in the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Have a Bookmarks Toolbar with multiple items (direct links and/or live bookmarks). 
2. Launch Firefox. 
3. Right click on an item in the Bookmarks Toolbar.
4. Right click on one or more additional items in the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Expected Result: Each right click will bring up a context menu.
Actual Result: Only Step 3 gets a context menu. 

If between steps 3 and 4, the user right clicks elsewhere in Firefox (or left clicks anywhere else), then step 4 will work for the first right click.

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.
