Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 405198

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

It seems that the only thing drag & drop will allow in the Places Organizer is changing the order of bookmarks within a folder, which is of questionable utility when compared to being able to move bookmarks between folders, and folders between folders.

Reproducible: Always

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.
