117345 - Browser configuration data lost

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98476

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[George Mitchell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010914
BuildID:    2001100112

I just experienced a power failure after Mozilla was closed but before it was
finished writing to disk.  The result was that upon reboot Mozilla was insane
and could not find my personal config data due to corrupted config file or
files.  In the process my bookmarks were permanently lost.

My request is that all config files be backed up to a secure location whenever I
modify my preferences and that there be an automatic and/or manual mechanism for
restoring those files from the back ups.

Thanks
