Comment 3 for bug 270542

Bug update: Now I have Ubuntu 8.10 and Firefox 3.06. I dragged the icon of a web page (the one left to the address bar) to the bookmarks menu, waited until the menu displayed and dragged down to a position on the root menu (not in any folder) and droppped it there. But moments after I released the mouse button the screen darkened a little (as usual when processor is working hard) but never got out of that state, the pointer icon remained with the dragging shape (didn't became an arrow again) and it could be moved around in the screen but there was no response when I clicked any Firefox o Ubuntu system menus, buttons or icons, thus making the system unusable (hanged). Nor any key stroke responded to bring menus or apps, with the exception of ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to tty1 and properly shutdown the system (I waited for more than 3 hours before finally shutting down). That was the difference with Ubuntu 8.04 which didn't allowed any keystroke and I had to unclean shutdown every time this bug happened.

The workaround I've been using to this date to bookmark my web pages (on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10) is using the Ctrl-D key stroke to bring the little window and clic on the folder where I want my bookmark placed. That works very well.

The other important difference is that since I installed Ubuntu 8.10, I am able now to go to the menu "Bookmarks > Organize bookmarks" and drag them around. That didn't work on Ubuntu 8.04, Firefox 3.01, where the system hanged as explained.
