unable to select an unfiled bookmark or a bookmark from my toolbar as my home page in prefs

we appear to be rooting in place:folder=2&excludeQueries=1

see http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/preferences/selectBookmark.xul#28

note, we may also want to take this change to stop hard coding the folder id of 2, see bug #399264

should root that query with "All Bookmarks" folder, as we do for the sidebar:

drivers: regression from firefox 2 due to being unable to select bookmarks from the toolbar for your homepage from the prefs UI.

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.
