Does this work in Mac OS 9? I can't imagine anyone finding this method
preferrable to pressing the delete button or selecting the delete menu item or
pressing the delete key (which doesn't currently work, BTW).

When trying to delete a bookmark from the toolbar, my first instinct was to drag
from the toolbar to Trash instead of using the context menu. Using the backspace
key doesnät make sense in the context of the toolbar. 

Dragging from the Classic build to the Mac OS X Trash doesn't work either.

Good point. Also, if the trash highlights, then dragging a bookmark listing to
it should delete the bookmark (if not, the trash shouldn't highlight).

The ability to delete items by dragging them to the system trash is also present
in applications like Sherlock for Mac OS X, so it should probably work in
Mozilla, too.

I assume this is blocked by bug 76629?

Also, this is probably a dupe of the newer, but more general bug 70776.
