Hardy Alpha 4 Firefox 3 doesn't sort bookmarks

[Bryan Quigley]

Nothing in an alpha is "ready".  I really wanted Firefox 3 to be in the
default hardy earlier but now that it is, that's great (
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-January/003139.html).
(No, I am not a developer just a tester.)

Go to Bookmarks -> Show all bookmarks |  View -> Sort -> Sort by name
