-> Bookmarks

Reporter: Do you had a crash before you saw this problem ?

Comment 2

[Paul Carr]

Yes, unfortunately it was a silent crash, with no console and no talkback.

Comment 3

[Paul Carr]

Tried it again with RC 2, and same result - Bookmarks lost, at least to Version 1.4.

  I can reproduce this bug every time. Using Mozilla 1.5 (release) and Mac OS
X.1. I doubt if this makes a difference, but I start mozilla from the dock.
  - Open Mozilla
  - Close the window (just the window, not the app)
  - Open a new mozilla window (I do this by clicking the icon in the dock)
  - Close the window
  - Quit mozilla from the top menu

  My bookmarks.html file disappears every time.

Comment 5

[Mike Bradford]

  Oh - and reproducing this depends on the existance of the bookmarks.html file
when you start. If I follow these steps post-annhilation, I end up with a
bookmarks file. (Albeit a blank one)

Typos in the title:

should be

Paul, does your bookmarks still disappears after a crash?

Over two months and no response from reporter --> wfm. Please reopen if you
still can reproduce the original issue (comment #0 and #2) with a recent build.
