Works fine for me, I can't really see your hebrew input in the description, so there may be a problem with your hebrew support (fonts, etc.), here's a line of hebrew to try this with

שלום אחי

Renaming a bookmark with that text works for me, try it in safe mode:

Now it is working...
I think importing the bookmarks from an HTML file made all the problems, while importing them directly from IE seems to work

Well, if you still have the html file, can you attach it here, BTW FF3 now uses json files to import and export bookmarks. Otherwise just mark this bug WORKSFORME.

Hey Natch, I would rather send you the HTML file by mail and not attach it here.
