After a recent update a folder named Unfiled Bookmarks appeared. I tried to delete it and the option is grayed out. Dragging it to the Bookmarks Menu creates a duplicate that i can then drag out back out of the menu. now i have two 'unfiled bookmarks' folders right next to each other that have Delete grayed out.

Expected Results:  
It would be also useful to be able to delete that of the screen and go back to the old way of having all bookmarks accessible right away.

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.
