A user cannot sort their bookmark names by name through the bookmarks menu at the top bar. the feature "sort by name" is visible but its greyed out. A user can go into organise bookmarks, then view then select how to sort the bookmarks but the quicker way which is greyed out is much quicker and simplier

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox
2. go to "bookmarks at top"
3. right click a bookmark to see the greyed out lettering at "sort by name"
Actual Results:  
nothing, its greyed out

Expected Results:  
sorted the bookmarks name in alphabetical order

Smoky: Please try a newer nightly build, such as Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008042207 Minefield/3.0pre. I am able to sort my bookmarks in name order by clicking on the "Views" "Sort by Name" in Organize Bookmarks.
