Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 426475

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

When I want to create a bookmark for a group of tabs, I cannot select the top-level folders "bookmarks menu" and "personal toolbar" from the bookmark folder tree.
Effectively, I cannot create a bookmark for a group of tabs under both top-level folders.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open at least two tabs.
2. Select Booksmarks-> Add bookmark for all tabs OR press Ctrl+Shift+D
3. Expand the bookmark folder tree by clicking the small button next to dropdown
4. Select any of the top-level folders, e.g. bookmarks menu.
Actual Results:  
The dropdown control shows a nameless folder instead of the top-level folder name. No bookmark is created after clicking ok

Expected Results:  
The dropdown control should show the name of the top-level folder selected in the tree below. A bookmark should be created at this position.

As long as the folder tree is not displayed, I can select the top-level folder from the dropdown control. It breaks when the tree view is opened.

Not sure what you mean. A folder is created on the bottom of the bookmarks menu with the name [Folder Name] if I don't give it a name. It contains all bookmarked tabs.

Yes, what you write is the expected behaviour, and FF2 behaves in this way.
However, FF3 beta5 does not create the bookmark folder.
If I select any of the three top-level folders in the folder tree, the corresponding dropdown control shows no folder name and no bookmark is created.

Could the localization be relevant? I'm running the de_DE version.
