Not sure if I am reading it right but the only bug checked in was Bug 485862 that doesn't look likely. I no virtually nothing about the hg repository so may well be reading it wrong

Bookmarks on the Bookmark Toolbar that are in the 'Overflow' area after the >> do not display an 'context menu' either, but bookmarks on the displayed area of the toolbar do have a context menu..

yep, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090426 Minefield/3.6a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) ID:20090426044401 sees this too. Not on 3.5 branch, so that's good.

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.
