Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi, when opening firefox, the bookmark separators (in the bookmark toolbar) start to "animate" and move all the way to the right!

I don't know what further information you could need for this, so I have provided a desktop recording where this is clearly shown.

Let me know if any further information is required!

The "screen flashing" on the recording is a Istanbul bug.

Here's a second recording. Should be clearer.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you try disabling the Bindwood extension and see if that has any effect?

I have disabled it (although I am sure I disabled it before, together with all other Plug-ins and extensions) and the issue is gone.

Separators are now there where they should be. Nice :) Thanks.

Is this going to be forwarded to the Bindwood developers for a fix-release?

The same thing happened to me. I disabled bindwood, but not before it completely trashed all my bookmark toolbar. When I restarted after disabling, I found that it had overwritten all of them with two repeated bookmarks. :(

This issue is still active. As soon as I enable Bindwood, all my bookmarks in the toolbar get mixed up. Re-Opening bug report!
