Description

[Luke deGruchy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050515

The bookmark component of My Sidebar only displays a blank white page.  This
will happen regardless of the URL of the page viewed in the main browser window.
 This has happened since version 0.8.1.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla Browser
2.Open My Sidebar
3.Click Tabs
4.Click Customize My Sidebar
5.If "tabs in my sidebar" does not include bookmarks, click on "bookmark" in
"available tabs" and press "Add" button.
6.Click OK.
7.Click bookmark tab in My Sidebar.

Actual Results:  The bookmark tab in My Sidebar is blank (white).

Expected Results:  The tab should display all of the bookmarks and folders for
the particular user.

Under "customize sidebar", under "available tabs", when the user clicks
"bookmarks" and clicks "preview", the preview window that opens displays the
bookmarks properly.

I've seen that with other users. Please try a new profile, then it usually
worked. This must be a dupe.

Dup of bug 71685. There is a workaround in that bug to fix it.
