Steps to reproduce:
1. Add any javascript: bookmarklet, for example "zap colors" from https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/
2. Hide the menu bar (so the Firefox menu appears).
3. Click on the Firefox menu and find the bookmarklet within the Bookmarks sub-menus.
4. Select the bookmarklet.

Expected results: The bookmarklet code is executed.

Actual results: Nothing happens.

The same bookmarklet works correctly when selected through the menu bar "Bookmarks" menu, or the bookmark toolbar.

This bug is reproducible in a current mozilla-central nightly on Linux.  I think it first appeared sometime in the last few weeks.

Yes.  (I feel silly for not having tested regular bookmarks too.)
