If you copy&paste a history item from within the history container into a bookmark folder, the new bookmark is created twice within the target folder. This bug seems to be only happen on OS X. Alexej, or can you reproduce it on Linux? Running a test on Windows doesn't show this behavior.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a fresh profile
2. Open the Library
3. Goto history container
4. Copy&Paste a history item into another folder e.g. "Bookmarks Toolbar"

Currently two new identical bookmarks are created under the target folder. If you remove one of them both are getting deleted.

Is it worth asking for blocking-firefox3?

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.
