This was caused by implementing bug #1261685, which merely furthered
making Firefox more like Chrome.  See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261685>, where the
discussion indicated a concern about breaking the Bookmarks capability.
Apparently, that concern was not sufficiently taken into account.

This is one more example of the developers making a change that has
little substance but horrific consequences.  In the meantime, actual
bugs (errors, not enhancements) remain unfixed.

Sarah Palin claims Bill Nye (the "Science Guy") is no more
a scientist than she is.  Nye has a Bachelor of Science degree
in mechanical engineering.  Palin has degree in communications
with an emphasis on journalism.  Somehow, engineering seems to
be more scientific than journalism.
