Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I can confirm that behavior for the "Bookmarks Manager" and the "Bookmarks Sidebar" Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 I really wonder that hardly anyone noticed that before? The current behavior makes the "paste" feature bookmark manager unuseable. it's completely different to the behaviour of common file managers. this can't be on purpose. another related problem can be found in Bug #287650
Confirming with a current trunk build.

Besides the "paste into folder" issue, the very fact that pasted items get inserted ABOVE the current cursor position (instead of BELOW it) is really annoying (e.g. most text-editor users are used to see pasted clipboard lines below the current line, not above it)

Hi, this is obviously a common problem in the bookmark manager, since it happens with newly created bookmarks, too. (No. 380662)
fwiw, I'm not seeing this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/2007062612 Minefield/3.0a6pre
insert before is the default behavior by design in all places views
