Steps to reproduce: 1. Back up your profile. 2. Ctrl+B. 3. Right-click on a folder in the manage bookmarks window, and select "open in new window". Result: new window opens with that folder as the "hidden root". (why hidden?) 4. Close both bookmarks windows. 5. (optional) Ctrl+B. Result: mozilla hangs. 6. Restart Mozilla. 7. Ctrl+B Result: mozilla hangs. Deleting all of the files in my profile directory except for bookmarks.html fixes the problem.
And if you have the Bookmarks panel open in the sidebar, Mozilla hangs on startup after step 6.

I'm pushing this off or closing as worksforme unless I can reproduce this (which I currently can't). Can I get a bookmarks file attached that I can use to repro?
my warnings were not heeded! WORKSFORME.
