From bug 60754:

With a build from CVS this morning (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686;
en-US; m18) Gecko/20001120), suddenly bookmarks don't work anymore, either from
the menu or the personal toolbar. (All other buttons appear to work fine,
including "home").

When I click on a bookmark, nothing happens in the browser window, but this
error appears on the console:

JavaScript error:
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js line 1411: content.boxObject has no
properties

It seems that the link between the browser and the bookmarks is somehow broken,
the bookmark manager works, but adding and going to bookmarks from the browser
is broken. (I noticed this in the 2000112008 Linux Build)

Hey Alec, can you look into this? You are the only one that made any changes to
the bookmarks service over the weekend......I didn't see anything else that
looked suspicious.

this is working for me, at least on linux.. I'll take it but I can't reproduce
it.. (waiting on my windows build)

This might help narrow it down a bit, the bug does not show up in 2000111921
linux, but in 2000112008 it shows up.

i should reassign to cls and then marked fix, but why add spam? (this bug was
fixed by cls's checkins this afternoon to several Makefile.in fiels)
