User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

I figure that whem my partition was filled up (totally full of data)
and Mozilla is opened and you change the bookmarks, after close Mozilla
he zeroed the bookmarks file and I lost my bookmarks! He neither maintened
the old bookmark nor asked me for free some space on disk. I discovered
that my device was full before I had lost my bookmarks file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.Change the bookmarks in some way (adding a link for example)
3.Fill the Partition where mozilla records your bookmark file with any data
  until it has 100% full (totally full)
4. Close Mozilla
5. See the zeroued (zero bytes) file bookmarks.html 

Actual Results:  
You have a zero (0) bytes bookmark file with your data totaly lost!!!!!!

Expected Results:  
1. Asked me to freed some space before closing and saving the file or
2. Asked for discarding changes or
3. Discarded changes and give a warning about the space left on device or
4. Simply discarded the changes
5. Maintain a backup of bookmarks and check for space to don't destroy the
backup file too
6. Anything similar

I was using RedHat 7.3 and the Mozilla version from the RedHat RPM's
