I have many folders of bookmarks. In 4.x, I could scroll down the list of them, get to the desired one, a list of its contents appeared to the side, by moving the cursor over there I could select one of those, in the case of subfolders, same behavior.

Version 5.0 breaks this. When I scroll down the list of bookmarks, sometimes the contents list of the folder appears *over* the top-level list, and this happens really fast, so that it obscures the main list, and I can not get the cursor out of there, except by returning all the way to the top, and trying again. Other times the contents list appears to the side, so the main list is not obscured, but yet I can not select another folder. The only choice is one of the contents list. No other folder is selectable, except by going to the top again, or above/below the displayed contents list of the one folder.

I simply an unable to move the cursor as fast and accurately (and I am relatively fast) as is needed to get to the correct folder before a contents list displays and prevents further scrolling of the main list.

The advantage of the old 4.x behavior was that the contents of each folder displayed to the side, so I could scroll through the bookmarks list, see the contents before selecting something. This new 5.0 behavior makes using folders near impossible.

I should add to the system details that these plugins are in the Library > Internet Plug-Ins folder and as far as I have experienced so far they do seem to work.

This is linked to the “bookmarks too wide” problem. I have been able to restore the cascading menus to my (admittedly large collection of) bookmarks by editing the names of the folders of bookmarks at the top level so that they are all very short. After that the subfolders work fine.

So if any of you kind and talented volunteers want to tackle a project that will help make this FF5.0 release safe/transparent for Mac OS X 10.5 (and others?), please consider restoring the lost auto-shortening of long bookmarks (there were ellipses, if I remember right). Turns out that was important! :)

Here is a Mac Bug that was filed about that issue, back in mid-January about the Firefox 4 betas. The last 2 comments seem to indicate that is related to 64-bit Mac's.

I have a similar problem to the one posted by "asdfasdfasdf" in June 2011, except it's with Firefox 7 which I just updated to (after using 3.6.15). I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro.

Any suggestions? I've never before had any problems accessing bookmarks within folders or subfolders, but as the previous user indicates, it makes using Firefox very inconvenient.

Thanks!
