User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 Build ID: 20120129021758 Steps to reproduce: I use bookmark panel on the left side. Version 10.0 ( Firefox ) I have many bookmarks. I open it and scroll down. Then I open one folder. Scrolling is visible. Then I close folder and. Actual results: This bookmark node is closing. But then scrolling is became smaller and another folder is opened. I mean when click mouse to close. I works for current node as close, then this node is closing, but after that it still work as click and iterpret as click for another node. Expected results: No bookmark node should opened
Thanks for filing the bug. Has it happened recently with recent versions?

I think this is an old bug we fixed time ago, no reason to keep it around, feel free to reopen if it still happens on the most recent version.

Same problem here.

Let's assume that a folder A is opened. If there are many entries in the tree and if folder A is very low in the tree, the top of the hierarchy may be hidden. In that case, when closing A, the tree is possibly moved down. In that case, the folder that is now located at the same place where A was displayed is opened.

Actually, it seems that a second mouse message pointing to the very same location where the user has clicked is sent to the mouse click handler. So, the first message closes folder A and the second opens the folder B that is now displayed at the former location of A.

I fixed the problem by setting ui.context_menus.after_mouseup to true. It is false by default. It seems that this option, when set to false generates other problems in FF.

I should have mentioned that this bug is very old. I found the solution only recently.

This is not correct. The problem was back after a while.
