Comment 2 for bug 990877

i could not reproduce this. it takes a while (about 1 min), but it works. (tested with both 0.4.3, which seems to be what sid ships, and 0.4.5a).

there is no visual feedback during the process though, so it does indeed appear to hang (1 minute without feedback feels like an eternity). i could only tell it was doing its work by the noise of the hard drive seeking.

so, maybe you only need to wait a little longer.

btw, to check that it worked it's better to look in the sidepanel; the bookmarks menu in the menubar does not always correctly update.

oh, and you are aware of the privacy implication of posting your bookmarks in a public place, right?
