Every time I Sort By Name by Bookmarks, Firefox sorts, and closes, my Bookmark menu...  Why does it do this??

It should sort the list, and sit right there, I clearly want to look at my list, or I wouldn't be trying to sort it...

Thanks,
Atg

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Click Bookmarks
3. Right-click, click Sort by Name
Actual Results:  
The Bookmarks drop-down closes....

Expected Results:  
The Bookmark menu sits right there, waiting for me to do something else.

The bookmarks menu isn't meant for arranging bookmarks, for that use the sidebar (ctrl+b) or the manager.

The menu is just a drop-down-click-n-go type of thing.

Sorry, "meant to" doesn't mean much to me...

"Should do" means more...

Thanks for replying anyway,

I was just reflecting current behavior, if you think this is a reasonable enhancement you can still keep this open (although you should probably set it as enhancement),

I'm definitely not the last word on features.;)

This has been fixed in Firefox 3.
