Attempt to Drag & Drop MOVE of bookmarks after a Search makes a COPY even if I use SHIFT key

Using Firefox 30 (a check shows it is current release), on Windows 7. Working in "Library" (CTRL+SHIFT+B) to reorganize bookmarks.

A drag & drop move of bookmarks AFTER a Search makes a copy of the bookmark(s) EVEN if I use SHIFT key. (If I have NOT searched, drag & drop move of bookmark to a new folder works fine!)

It happens whether I have a single bookmark, or multiple.

I have tried running Firefox in SAFE mode (add-ons turned off). I have tried the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys (individually, and in combinations) to make the copy "plus sign" turn off.

I'd like a solution best of all, but it would also help me to know if you can replicate my problem. Thanks!

when you press CLT+SHIFT+B after that there is a popup window which will come just drop down the list and press enter you will be asked about recent bookmarks again drop down you will get the list of the bookmarks.
