Unable to get to Root Folder in New Profile with 2.14

OK
This may be me
But I find myself quite unable to create in a New Profile, a working Root Folder in FD 2.14.
Not sure why.
I get a white screen if I hit FD Toolbar Icon
======
However
If I create Root page in FD 2.11 (works fine) and then upgrade to 2.14 well then everything works fine.
No white page or anything
Advice please !
What am I doing wrong ????
*********************
I am putting something together on this subject here

It's my "Most Visited" folder

Thanks yes
I'm sort of aware of what I should do.(Mafi0z told me :-) )
A little uncertain why FD does not do it automatically.
If FD 2.14 is uploaded to AMO then I would have thought that this feature will generate quite quickly a 3 star rating as no one will understand what the hell is going on

Yeah. Big bug....

<>1 star

Yes it is nice if you like that sort of thing. :-)
But there is no obvious way to get to the root folder from there.
How come 2.14 has been made in this way to be so pigheaded ?

Yes this is a real shame.
Because of all Versions ever made of Fast Dial I think this is by far and away the best.
If one is upgrading from a previous version of FD this tiresome "Feature" is not noticed.

Submitted by gumanov on Sat, 11/01/2008 - 18:18would be nice if.. upon first install of FD, a prompt window appears..
"SELECT A BOOKMARK FOLDER AS YOUR FD HOME:" and it lists all your folders so you can select..
:D

Yes...That would be great
Something to break the isolation
Something to make you feel the developer cares about you.

Yes or possibly even better
Fast Dial will be automatically selected as your FD Home (if you hit enter), if you wish for another folder to be your FD Home please select and hit enter (or something of that sort)
