2) Open Places Library Dialog
3) click around the Treeview, showing/hiding the folders.   Click in the bookmarks search textbox also, and try to search for any bookmarks
4) After a few minutes, firefox will crash, and a dialog pops up:

"Application firefox.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down."

Expected:
- no crash

Actual:
- crash

This might be a dup of bug 504495 -- at least that's the crash that I got when trying this.

Not able to reproduce this using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WindowsCE 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a2pre) Gecko/20090817 Firefox/3.6a2pre. Tony - can you try to reproduce as well and if you cannot close this one out?

Reopen if it appears, please!

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.
