There are different way in sorting folders and bookmarks by name. While using the "Views" menu sorts the entries, it doesn't work when invoking the action via the context menu.

Steps:

1. Open Library and go to "Bookmarks Menu"
2. Add some folders and bookmarks
3. Open context menu of "Bookmarks Menu" and select "Sort by Name"

Nothing happens. Even there is no error within the Error Console. Same happens for each folder directly located under "All Bookmarks". The context menu function works for their subfolders.

It should either do something or be removed.

Probably it could only be a logical check which prevents the action for this hierarchy?

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.
