Could someone test a clean install (i.e. installing into an empty directory, not
ontop of an existing installation) from 5/9 or later?

Just did that on Linux, build 2001-05-10-08.  Still see this.

Attachment: simple HTML to add a generic URL to the Sidebar.

[Mitchell Stoltz (not reading bugmail)]

Works for me; it's possible this was fixed by the checkin I just made, but I'm
not sure. Boris, Marcio, someone: could you please re-test with tomorrow's build?

Comment 9

[/\/\arcio Galli]

ok...will doublecheck tomorrow...

Comment 10

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Just pulled with Mitchell's checkin and this works for me too.
