The context menu the users gets when right-clicking contains an item called
"Open in new window" which is unclear- what gets opened in a new window (after
all, no bookmark was selected).

When choosing that option, the manage bookmarks window opens.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a blank spot in the personal bookmark folder
2. Observe the context menu

Actual Results:  Menu item "Open in new window" is diplayed

Expected Results:  Menu item should say "Manage bookmarks"
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
You'd need to look at the event target to see if you were on a bookmark item or
not, and use the appropriate text. This probably means you'd need to move the
alternatives from a DTD to a properties file.

Summary: unclear wording in personal bookmark folder context menu → Don't show bookmark shortcut menu in empty part of the Personal Toolbar
I'm tempted to say that this bug is invalid, as it opens your personal toolbar
folder in a new window, just as it says. What doesn't work is right-clicking on
a folder in your personal toolbar and opening that folder in a new window.
I dunno- I still think the wording is unclear. At least for me, it what not 
clear exactly what get's opended in a new window, and I am not such a new user 
of software...
So the wording is bad. How about "Open Window for Folder"?

The menu item "Open in new window" for the empty area of the Personal Toolbar
was removed with the landing of the new bookmark code.
...and therefore this is fixed by the bookmarks rewrite last year.
