Suggest check-to-save-old-file be added 3) Due to this and bug 64768, I suggest bookmark file editing be *temporerally* given over to either a working version of NetScape, if possible, OR a MS-Word template file be created for doing the editing job Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: When modifying a bookmark file, Moz not only doesn't do it (64768) but creates endless numbers of backup files in a place where they don't belong. MS has given us Documents and Settings, Drive C Program Files and Shared Files, etc. We don't have to go along. Expected Results: Bookmark file should be in Moz. folder *except* in cases where more than one profile exists. Option should exist to save backup, save last n backups, not save backups in a folder under browser folder. Question - would a who-can-examine coding on individual user folders be sufficient to block folks from using others' bookmarks without moving them to MicroSoft D&S file? Passwords and local encoding, perhaps?

The extra bookmark files appearing is bug 189651. Placing the bookmarks file (and all profile files) in the D&S folder was bug 6464, and fixed on purpose. The ability to change profile location is bug 77924. Is there anything in this bug report that those three bugs do not cover?
