Bookmarks Library not working properly

Post by terrypin »

The Bookmaks Library (Ctr+Shift+B) is not behaving correctly here in Fx 47.0.1.

I right click a folder in the tree and choose Cut. Right clicking another folder should then offer Paste, but it doesn't. Same with choosing Copy.

I can however drag one folder into another.

Edit: As a further puzzle, a bit later I found that after using Cut/Copy/Paste in the main window on individual files, the Paste command was no longer greyed out in the tree - but it still didn't work!

The RED area above... I'll assume that that was a typo error???

Also... have you tried any of the standard testing procedures yet?

Yep, sorry, 41.0.1.

Were you able to reproduce the problem?

Nope.. everything works fine here...as it should... that's why I asked you about doing some of the normal testing procedures.

OK, I'll start with a PC reboot in the morning.

Reboot your PC?... The normal Firefox testing is
with it in safe mode.

Yes, I know, but not before a precautionary reboot - a very rare event on this PC.
