Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 477687

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

This has happened several times. A random Bookmark folder will simply rename itself, by "borrowing" another folder's name.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Happens at random, doesn't seem to have any special trigger.
2.
3.



Perhaps this is somehow related to another problem I've experience wherein icons on the bookmark toolbar will randomly "pick up" a new icon. For example, the Yahoo icon will change to their events icon after visiting a page. The link remains the same, but the icon changes. This hasn't happened in a while but it used to happen every day.

Please restart Firefox in safe mode: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Run Firefox like this for a while the next time you see something like this happen.

Are you sure it doesn't happen after you create a new bookmark or folder?  This sounds like a dupe of bug 477687.
