From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID: 2002020415
The file system where my home directory is mounted became full. I exited
mozilla; when I restarted it:
1) My preferences were gone;
2) My bookmarks were truncated; I have about 400K of them, only the first 260K
were still there.
3) My email account preferences were also gone.
I think Mozilla should be more robust in this situation.
Reproducible: Didn't try
Actual Results: I don't have the ability to duplicate this situation (full file
system) here.
Expected Results: I think Mozilla should never (or almost never) lose saved
preferences / bookmarks / mail preferences. If necessary, it could make backups
of these files?

I also think there should be a utility that mozilla should have that would allow
the backup and restore of this kind of data via a floppy. Maybe a backup/restore
wizard would be nice?
