1. open Firefox (on Ubuntu 8.04 - may or may not apply on other platforms)
2. click on menu Bookmarks
Firefox will display dialog box titled "Page Bookmarked", at which point you can either
1. bookmark the page or
2. select Cancel
Now click on menu Bookmarks and Firefox will display the existing bookmarks.
What we are seeing is that after starting Firefox, the first instance of use of Bookmarks offers to bookmark the current page instead of opening the drop down list of existing bookmarks.
It appears likely that the first instance of use activates the first menu item (which happens to be 'Bookmark This Page') instead of providing the list.
