Without the resizer it makes it difficult to be able to resize the window properly, especially if you have a long list of bookmarks.

Maybe this is by design?

Comment 3

The same thing is present in History | Show All History since it mimics the behavior of Places.

This removed intentionally. I cannot find the bug.

Dupe of bug 401165?

Hm, I don't remember why I said it was by design, but the resizer is there in current builds.

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.
