Please attach the bookmarks file you were trying to import.
Why is this bug marked as security-sensitive?

Attachment: IE bookmarks files that would cause error pop-up

This is file that I could not import into Camino. 
I am not sure where/or what happened to the bookmarks
file the Camino looks for when it first starts up.

Attachment: bookmarks parse error file

I finally found out where the bookmarks files were kept. This file is the 
bookmarks parse error file that I found. 

I removed this and the bookmarks file -- then I could import bookmarks
form IE with no problem. Apparently the file became corrupt and caused 
this error to occur.

Attachment: bookmarks file that was causind read error on camino startup

The bookmarks file that would get a bookmarks file read error
everytime I would start up Camino 0.7.

Removing this file and the bookmarks_parse_error file would
get rid of the error.

Er, that bookmarks file is full of binary data dumped there by iTunes. You have
a corrupted disk, I guess.
