714534 - bookmark library drag-and-drop collidies with cookie pop-up

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[luck428]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10
Build ID: 20100914125854

Steps to reproduce:

The cookie policy is set to "ask every time".
1.) opened the bookmarks library STRG-ALT-B.
2.) Click on bookmark and drag-and-drop it to a new location.
3.) While dragging the Cookie-blocker pop-up appears (asking what to do) and i cannot drop the link in its target location, because the cookie popup is waiting for input. The Session gets stalled.


Actual results:

the session gets stalled.


Expected results:

i'm not sure why clicking on a link in the bookmark library should cause firefox to call the site and allow it so set a cookie if i don't even want to visit the site.
My assumption is i can drag-and-drop bookmarks in my bookmarks without getting cookies from the very site. this should not happen and should not stop the drag-and-drop process.

this is due to microsummaries, that exist in firefox 3.6.x but have been removed in current versions. Not going to fix it in older versions.

A workaround is to set browser.microsummary.enabled to false in about:config
