Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090322 Shiretoko/3.5b4pre ID:20090322030800 When you open the Library and select e.g. the Bookmarks Toolbar, you will have a white and empty area on the right side of the Library. Now d&d one of the bookmarks/separators/folders from this folder to that empty area. When dropping the following exception is thrown: Error: uncaught exception: 2147942487 Happens for me with WinXP and OS X.
exception is NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE
while regression window finding i get e.g. with build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20081001 Minefield/3.1b1pre ID:20081001053411 Error: 'Illegal value' when calling method: [nsITreeView::getParentIndex] = NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE using above mentioned STR. i presume this is the same error?!

This causes problems for users when they miss a drop target in the Library window. When dragging into the empty space of a tag folder, duplicate tags are added to the bookmark, rather than the expected behavior of adding the bookmark to the new tag.

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. Gerv
