Browser Window insisted I upgrade to version 1.3 from 1.3a.  Upon completion of
upgrade, all bookmarks, mail , and mail settings are gone.  They are still
present in the directory but I seem unable to access my mail settings (and more
important, the mail itself)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I upgraded Mozilla from version 1.3a to 1.3 (at insistence of browser)
2. I started the program and discovered that ALL settings had been lost
3. 

Actual Results:  
I don't have access to my email.

Expected Results:  
It should have not asked me to upgrade without warning me that it was going to
lose all my email, my email settings, and my bookmarks.  

his happened after I did a windows XP update, I don't know if that's related.
Update was for Microsoft bug fix 814033
