222339 - Bookmarks deleted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221037

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Wellyn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

This occasionally happened with Moz 1.4 (previous version I used), but 1.4 never
altered the actual bookmarks.html file (so these could be re-imported). In Moz
1.5, however, that file is emptied as well, as are the bookmarks in the
drop-down menu. Therefore, nothing can be re-imported.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Most likely if Moz 1.5 crashes and must be restarted
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
No way to retrieve the bookmarks (as described above), so nothing could be done

Expected Results:  
Bookmarks should've been retained or at least re-importable

[Stewart Gordon]

This looks rather like bug 193749.

Comment 2

IMHO this is a dupe of Bug 193749 "bookmarks and personal preferences are lost
after system crash due to power failure". Or perhaps Bug 164244 "Bookmarks
become intermittently corrupted, revert to the defaults".

Oh, I found this: Perhaps it is a dupe of Bug 221037. See also bug 221037
comment 18.

Comment 4

[Michael Lefevre]

all these bookmark loss bugs are pretty vague - bug 221037 looks like as good as
any for a match to this.
