bookmarking not working correctly

[Larry Poller]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. Everything works fine except bookmarks in Firefox 3.5. When I try to bookmark a website, the bookmark window opens but I can't navigate through my bookmark selections. The vertical scroll bar doesn't work. Anyone have a similar problem and work around???

I also notice that I cannot delete searches from the Google search bar, as well. A drop down menu used to be available with an option to delete all previous searches. Any help with this one also???

i try to bookmark many websites with firefox 3.5.6 et 3.5.7 and i can't. I must let them one behind the other in the main folder.

I am running 32 bit Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.7 and am seeing the same problem. On any website (this one for instance) if I click on the bookmark icon in the address line twice and then click on the gray down arrow next to the Folders to see my bookmark folders. I can try to move the list up or down in the dropdown and the view of the list doesn't move, but the list is actually moving because I can click on a list item and it will show a folder in the folder space, but not the folder that I clicked on from the dropdown. ie, the list is actually moving up and down, but the display is not moving with what is actually there in the background. Not sure how to state this clearly. I am running several add-in's and have not tried to disable them to see if they are breaking Firefox. I'll try to do that and get back to you. Oh yes, if I use the keyboard arrows to move up and down, the dropdown still doesn't work properly, but the "Folder" space does seem to move correctly. Just not the dropdown.

I am at 10.4 with Firefox 3.6.5pre and it seems to be working OK now.
