Actual Results:  
New and undesired Bookmark

Expected Results:  
to be able to use my Bookmarks

I reported this on the Ububtu Tech List and others are having the same problem.

I also have this problem, but have occasionally noticed it effects other menus as well.. If you click on the file menu it often immediately opens a new window before I have had chance to move the mouse or release the mouse button. 

The problems only seem to occur when Firefox has only just been recently started. If I type an address, create a new tab, enter tools menu, or perform some other menu task, the "book mark this page" problem seems less likely to occur.

PS: I notice "Book mark this page" and "new window" are both the first item on their respective menus, could that hold any relevance in the issue?

(BTW: Using firefox 3.0.6 and Ubuntu 8.10)
