Blank bookmark form.

Expected Results:  
It should have filled in the title, url, etc for me on the 1st try.

I have not seen this before.  Coincidentally, though when I went to check that it works for me, it did not.  I was presented the full sized properties list that was indeed blank.  However, I can't reproduce it and don't know what steps could have put the browser in that one time state.

I try to reproduce it on Windows XP and Windows Vista, but nothing happened. Everlastings work well for me.

Well, I am now on the latest nightly build and it seems to have been corrected.

I guess 1 thing that was broken solved this problem :P

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.
