When I first start FireFox and I go to bookmarks, FireFox hangs. It appears that the icons next to the bookmarks don't load and that hangs FireFox. I have to Force Quit FireFox. If I don't first go to bookmarks and browse a bit, it doesn't seem to happen as much.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start FireFox
2.Go directly to bookmarks
4.I have a lot of bookmarks
Actual Results:  
FireFox hangs. Must Force Quit

Expected Results:  
Allow me to go to a bookmarks on first start and select a bookmark

After I force quit once, I can then restart FireFox and go to my bookmarks

How many items do you have in your bookmarks menu?

Over 80 folders and non foldered bookmarks

Maybe related (but not the same) as:

I read the article, but it seems the other user is trying to add a bookmark. I am just trying to select a previously made bookmark. In build 2.0.0.13 it briefly fixed the problem. But it went back to hanging when I first start Firefox and go directly to bookmarks. If I initially put urls in the url field and work a little in FireFox before using Bookmarks the problem solves itself. Why I don't know.

The "other user" and I have the same bug: it's not when trying to add a bookmark, but when clicking the "Bookmarks" button on the top menu in order to select a previously made bookmark. So it is the same cause as you, but with different effect...
Hope this will help :-)
