Is it the same issue in the Firefox Safe Mode? See support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Is it only this site?

Does it work with a new profile? Check http://support.mozilla.com/de/kb/Managing+profiles

Yes it is only that site, I have never seen it before and all my other bookmarks behave normal.

This works fine for me. If you right click on this bookmark and choose Properties, do you see a check mark in the box "Load this bookmark in the sidebar"?

Ouch! That is it. When I used the "Bookmark this page" link on the Canada Post web site, it must have set the flag for this. Is that something that is considered a bug?

OK, I see. I believe to remember that there is already a bug filed for this kind of issue; in that case this is a duplicate.

the website is using addPanel API call, to add the bookmark, but that method is intended to add a browser panel, so it's correctly opened in the sidebar.
there should be a bug about adding an api method to add a bookmark from wepages, that i can't find atm.
