Actually, the crash happens when anything is dragged in Firefox:
- attempt at reconfiguring the toolbars
- dragging a link
- ...

The not so funny thing is that I get this in Firefox 25.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 too! :-( The desktop manager does not crash, only Firefox does. But that's quite annoying as well. Most probably there's an upstream bug about this, but Google didn't spit it out on my first attempt to find it.

I didn't find any related upstream bugs in Mozilla's Bugzilla database either (searched for "crash bookmarks").
