Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 164244

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Bardi Einarsson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

The browser crashed. XP froze. On reboot the bookmarks.html file had effectively
been erased. Instead of the 250K bookmarks.html, the was a bookmarks.html
containing an empty section for Imported IE Favorites.

I had a similar problem before: SEE bug 182846.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.




In bug 182846, my bookmarks.html was truncated during installation - nothing
crashed. Apparently, it was rejected as a bug because I had installed Mozilla
over an old version.

This time there was a crash.
Suggestion: Provide a backup bookmarks.html file and an easy way to get it.

As of 1 March 2003, I have lost my bookmarks three times. The orginal
description is still accurate. The latest crash occurred as Mozilla closed.
