yesterday (october 13th) most of the bookmarks disappeared under the built of
october 5th or so. and also no bookmarks at all are shown on the toolbar.

october 13th but there's no change.

unfortunately, deleting an older phoenix version an installing a newer one
doesn't change the situation
the toolbar that normally shows links also doesn't accept new links dragge an
dropped on it

Have you tried this with a new profile and a new build? I do recall one build
was kind of buggy that way.

Comment 4

[André Dahlqvist]

Ingmar, have you tried some recent builds? Please note that you need to install
Phoenix into a new directory (not over the previous installation) and create a
new profile.

Ingmar, can you please respond to the questions posted to you at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174297 ? If not, I will have to
chose this bug as WORKSFORME because of the lacking communication.

sorry, I was very busy in the last few weeks.
yes it worked with a new profile and a new build.
i will try to reproduce the error again today.

by the way, the error did not reoccur since i followed the advice of David.

Comment 8

[ingmar voigt]

Unfortunately I just found out that the build of oct 13th is no longer available
and also not left on my hard disk.
I think this bug can be left as 'FIXED'.

you're replying to a 18 years old bug, where it's unlikely you may get any help.
I'd suggest going to support.mozilla.org for troubleshooting.
