Everytime I attempt to organize my bookmark list by dragging one entry to a new location in bookmark list, Firefox (and system?) crashes.  I have not discovered a recovery method that avoids a restart

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run my computer
2. open Firefox
3. open bookmark window, click/drag a bookmark up or down in list one or more positions
Actual Results:  
Firefox hangs.  Cannot soft recover session (yet)

Expected Results:  
Browser ought to relocate a bookmark!

My bookmark list has approximately 66 entries, maybe fifteen separator lines and six folders contaning additional links.  This problem has been around for a few browser updates.

This version fixes the problem.  Thanks.  Fedora updates are still a little behind this version.
