bookmarks only mark feed, don't go to website

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I bookmark a page that has an active feed, I get the feed, but when I click the bookmark, it does not take me to the actual webpage.

thanks for your report, this is working fine for me, if it's still an issue for you can you tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce the behavior? also is this reproducible with new firefox profile or a new user account created on your system? thanks in advance.

I figured out what was wrong. For some reason, I have to actually go into the toolbar and assign the bookmarked webpage somewhere, or it won't work. I guess this extra step makes sense to someone in Mozilla. Personally, I'm finding Firefox3 to be worse than IE so far. I'm really hoping this kind of stuff goes away by release.

fixed by 3.0 final release
