Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
3.0~b5+nobinony
When manipulating bookmarks in the manage bookmark window, I clicked and dragged the "Unsorted Bookmarks" away the bottom. It did move to the new location then appeared again at the bottom of the bookmarks list. Not there are two "Unsorted Bookmarks" icons in two different locations and neither one can be deleted.

I expected it to either allow the move of the Unsorted Bookmark folder or prevent me from moving it. Not, move it and now have two un-deletable unsorted bookmarks folders.

It is actually all the same folder, adding a bookmark to any one of the folders and it will appear in all of them.
