If there are no items in this section the browser window starts jumping up and down.

Anyone know if it will be fixed, I did contact mozilla.org when FF was @ v1.2 about this and its

still happening.

FF > View > Toolbars > uncheck Bookmarks Toolbar

I'm pretty sure that fixes it - and has since 1.0.2 unless memory fails me.

Why do they always have to change firefox.exe icon! :/

damn this is annoying

They do that so people will know they are not running an official non-beta version of Firefox. I see the reasoning behind it, but I agree I don't much care for it either. But I have to say it makes it easy to see which version to click on with the icons. I run several different versions of Firefox to test things. Still I agree it's annoying at times.
