Regarding Iceweasel 31.6.0 (PowerPC version) Bookmarks.

Please consider this bug in the context of an inability to create
Bookmark Folders at any level, not just a problem with the Bookmarks
Toolbar.

I have done a new install of Debian PowerPC on an Apple iMac desktop
machine. In Iceweasel 31.6.0 if I invoke the "New Folder" dialogue I
get what appears to be the facility to create a new bookmark, i.e.
multiple fields including that for URL.

I have tried restoring the .json bookmarks file saved from a working
version of Firefox. After import the expected folder names are seen in
the Bookmarks Library but they are not recognised as folders.

I tried deleting the places.sqlite file so that Iceweasel recreates it,
and tried the "Reset Iceweasel to its default state" function. No
change to problem.

I confirm that bookmarks can be created, but not the folders in which
to organise them.

Regards,
Martin.
