(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Dragging links onto the bookmarks toolbar doesn't create a bookmark.

Steps:
1. Go to a page with hyperlinks.
2. Try dragging a hyperlink and drop it onto the bookmarks toolbar.

Expected: The link should be added to the bookmarks toolbar, and the link should be functional.

Actual: Nothing happens. If you try dropping the link between two existing bookmark in the toolbar, you will see a marker flicker. No link is added to the bookmark. I could not find it using the places library.

This works on Vista.

Marking it as FIXED because we know the reason.

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.
