When I click on the bookmarks tab along the top, the bookmarks popup comes up as if I clicked on "bookmark this page".  Canceling that popup and clicking bookmarks again, gives me my bookmarks. If I do bookmark a page, then every time I click on bookmarks from that point will always give me the save bookmarks popup. I have to close Firefox and reopen to gain control of my bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bookmark a page
2.Click on bookmarks tab along top
3.

If it is already a bug, then fix the darn thing

I get exactly the same thing and have done ever since upgrading to version 3.
This never occurred in version 2. I keep think it'll be fixed in each new update but it's not happening surely this isn't how it's meant to function?

This has been fixed in the version of the Beta I am now running.

Comment 5

[Steven Corr]

Is that the 3.5 beta?

Comment 6

[Jack]

3.6a1pre. Although with the latest update, I can no longer edit bookmarks by right clicking on them in the bookmark list. I now have to click on organize bookmarks and edit them in there. A real pain.

[Steven Corr]

Oh, I could only find 3.5 which very disappointingly doesn't have real player support, does your 3.6alpre have support?

Real player support is hit or miss. It has worked with some builds, but not with others. I am not sure about the current one, as I gave up the last time it did not work. And this 3.6a1pre updates pretty much every night, so I get a new build every day.
