When I right click in bookmarks and add a folder, my browser locks up and all the bookmarks do a crazy spaz dance, jumping all around and there is nothing you can do except ctrl+alt+del and shut 'er down.
this is a random occurence and I have not idea what is causing it. It is definitely frustrating.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.right click in bookmarks
2.choose add folder
3.watch FF go nuts for about 2 minutes
Actual Results:  
FF locks up (can't use any functions) and the bookmarks jump around like crack monkeys. They jump around, up and down. 

Expected Results:  
Add a folder to my bookmarks with no crack monkey dance. Pretty simple stuff.

I would like to get a video of this sometime because I have found nothing on google. Its crazy to watch. Never seen anything like it.

I am going to try to capture this with Captiva. its very intermittent. i have not yet discovered the common denominator, or if a program is conflicting, but it has to be happening to others.  will post link when i can get the screen capture.
