When Adding a new bookmark via command-D the website name in the pop-up window is only editable by using the keyboard arrow keys and then deleting ore editing the text. Usually a Left mouse click would allow me to edit or select text in this pop-up to rename my new bookmark. This is especially problematic with websites with a long name!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Command-D
2.Try mouse-clicking the new bookmark name in the pop-up window - Nothing happens
3.


Expected Results:  
I should be able to select the point in the text where I want to edit

This is happening to me as well.  Seems to be a new issue in 3.6.7.
I have noticed the same behavior on my just downloaded Firefox 4.0b4 running on Mac OS X 10.6.4.

When I click *twice* on the star next to a URL in the URL bar an "Edit This Bookmark" pop-up appears. The "Name:" field in this pop-up does *not* respond to mouse clicks and movements to select/deselect all or portions of the content of the field. Only the use of the keyboard works (arrow keys, delete key, etc.).
I am having exactly the same problem - cannot edit the name of a new bookmark by placing the text cursor in the name box and clicking, then typing. Can only edit by using the arrow key and backspace key. This has been happening for the last couple of months but I haven't flagged it up because I thought it was so obvious that it would have been fixed in the next update.
Powermac G5 Dual 2.7GHz, 10.5.8, now Firefox 3.6.10.
Same problem here. The field isn't clickable.
This must be a dupe
