User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Run two instances of FF using two profiles and then open the library window in each. In one of the windows copy a bookmark folder. Switch to the library window in the other instance and paste the folder into a selected location. This works on Win. This does not work on Mac. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch FF using profile A 2. Launch a 2nd instance of FF using profile B using the -no-remote switch 3. Open the Library window in FF using profile A 4. Open the Library window in FF using profile B 5. Select a bookmark folder on the toolbar in the Library window using profile A and copy 6. Establish focus in the Library window using profile B and paste 7. Using FF on Win this works 8. Using FF on Mac this does not work Expected Results: I would expect this to work on Mac in the same way it works on Win. Perhaps this is something that cannot be done on Mac?

maybe the format of the clipboard differs, and we are not doing a good conversion on Mac. Confirming for investigation.

Bug 1177654 is about the fact that we can't currently copy folders between Firefox instances. I think we can forward mark this as a dupe of that one. If this was or wasn't an issue before, bug 1177654 is the one that tracks it now.
