User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 I upgraded my browser from 1.3 to 1.4. It seemed to go OK. As part of the process, it started the browser as root. I killed it and started as me. The bookmarks were missing. Cookies were there, browser history was there, but bookmarks were gone. I went to my .mozilla direxctory to se what happened: August 5, 2003 @ 02:53:51PM: ~/.mozilla/jstoner/h84s294v.slt [jstoner@erzulie]> ls -l bookmarks* -rw------- 1 jstoner jstoner 272 Aug 5 14:21 bookmarks.html -rw------- 1 jstoner jstoner 9773 Jan 13 2002 bookmarks.html.bak August 5, 2003 @ 02:54:38PM: ~/.mozilla/jstoner/h84s294v.slt [jstoner@erzulie]> more bookmarks.html <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1> <!-- This is an automatically generated file.

(the .bak file seemed to be the version that came with Red Hat. I may have created it myself, I don't recall.) My multi-megabyte, eight year accumulation of bookmarks seems to have been overwritten. I'd throttle someone if they were close at hand. I am running Red Hat 8. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

You have killed the process. IMHO this is a dupe of Bug 193749 "bookmarks and personal preferences are lost after system crash due to power failure".
