Make bookmarks menu stay open when dragging a bookmark.

Something that has driven me crazy about Firefox for years now is that, when I am manually rearranging bookmarks without using the sidebar, if I am dragging a bookmark from one folder to another and my cursor goes outside the 'bounds' of the bookmark menu for even a fraction of a second the entire menu closes, leaving me with the bookmark on my cursor and nothing for it but to start all over again.

Is there ANY WAY to make this not happen? An addon to make the menu stay open unless I actually *click* outside it would be fine, or something. (The 'Stay Open Menu' addon only lets you open multiple items without the menu closing, does nothing for dragging bookmarks.) I know I could use the sidebar, but I consider that a bunch of extra steps I don't want to have to do every single time I want to obsessively reorganize one or two things.

Maybe a cut and paste via the right-click context menu works better for you.
