Bookmark star bug that crashes the browser

Steps to reproduce :
Click the bookmark star, click the dropdown arrow beside "Add to Bookmarks" to show the list of bookmark folders, then click anywhere else to make the folder list disappear, then click anywhere else to try to make the bookmark star menu disappear.

What happened :
The bookmark star menu stays no matter where you click to try to make it disappear. The only way for it to disappear is to click on the "Add to Bookmarks" or "Add to Speed Dial" buttons to add the current site to bookmarks or speed dial. If you close the tab when the bookmark star menu is still visible, the whole browser crashes.

This issue is consistently reproduced on two different Win7 64-bit systems.

Crash confirmed again.

The other way to get rid of the "Star menu" (what a stupid, meaningless name, BTW) is to switch to another tab, then back again.

(And whoa! What an ugly start screen bigsmile. I guess it's because of the YAML-based UI.)
