I recently ran into a similar problem, but my problem was not reproducible (once I closed the sidebar and re-opened it from the View menu, I no longer saw this problem).  Do you see this problem even after the sidebar has been closed and re-opened from the View menu?

You are quite right! I didn't knew that you could close it again from the view menu. But doing so seems to resolve the problem. Even after a restart of the browser. I will try to see if i can reproduce it after restarting the entire system. And il check it under windows aswell.

I have set the severity to minor.

Given that, I'll mark this as a dupe of bug 437791.  If you feel that your problem is not the same as bug 437791, please reopen this bug.

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.
