Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Steps to repeat:
1. Open the bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl + B)
2. Right click on "Bookmarks Toolbar"
3. Click "Properties"

Expected result:
A dialog appears with the following title: Properties for "Bookmarks Toolbar"

Actual result:
A dialog appears with the following title: Properties for "(null)"

The same thing happens when the steps are repeated using the two other top folders, "Bookmarks Menu" and "Unsorted Bookmarks". For simplicity I stuck with one in the preceding summary.

On a side note, I think a more grammatically logical title for the property dialog would be "Properties OF [item name]", but let's not be nitpicky :P

No, not a l10n issue. The "Properties" menu item should be disabled for that special folder (it's disabled in the bookmarks menu, for example), and that it's not disabled in the sidebar is a bug.

Does disabling your extensions in tools -> addons help?

I created a second profile and made sure that no extensions (not even Ubufox) were enabled for that profile. The bug still exists even under those circumstances.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body contains places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
