Details

I want to replace my $HOME/.mozilla/default/.../bookmarks.html with a symlink called bookmarks.html which would point to another persistent bookmark file. But after I have done this, and started up Mozilla, it seems to have been overwritten to be a file again. Even though I haven't managed the bookmarks. Why is this done? Couldn't you allow for symlinks to be used?

Oh! I did a query on Bookmarks & "sym link" substrings, but it didn't find anything.
