This is a vague bug but I file it to hear some opinions. I use build 2002012121, RH7.2, local filesystem. Have to admit that this buid behaves pretty stable comparing to the one I used before (week older?). Since several days it has not crashed and I only quitted it gently several times. Nevertheless my bookmark file got corrupted (exactly it got cut after some time). To be more specific it got cut somewhere in the middle of Personal Toolbar folder which made me notice it immediately (half of my favicons disappeared). No need to say I was quite annoyed that I ve lost approx 20 bookmarks in following part of the file I cannot reproduce easily (and - poor me - dii not have backup).I will attach the file - but I do not think this will help to examine why it got corrupted (unless somebody already knows what is wrong). In most file systems the save way to create non-corrupted files is to save them undder temporary name and rename them after they are closed (or synced or whatever). From what happened (partial file) I feel tempted to suspect that this techique is not used in mozilla (at least for bookmark file). Should not we have anything like that to make integrity of profiles higher? I believe other files may also be in danger (prefs etc.)
