228517 - bookmarks are lost when mozilla 1.6b is quit

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221843

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[mslemko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031029
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.6b/mozilla-mac-MachO-1.6b.dmg.gz

When I create bookmarks the next time mozilla is loaded, the bookmarks are lost.
Alternatively, I will transfer a bookmarks.html file from a different user (i.e.
a full set of bookmarks) when mozilla is loaded, the bookmarks are there, but
restarting mozilla causes all the bookmarks to be lost.

It appears to me that the saving of bookmarks is over-writing the bookmarks.html
file with an empty set.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mozilla
2. add a bookmark
3. quit mozilla
4. start mozilla
5. notice that your bookmark is missing

Actual Results:  
notice that your bookmark is missing

Expected Results:  
your bookmark is retained

Mac OS X 10.1.5

This does indeed look like bug 221843 (fixed today) or some of the dependencies
(bug 223231, for instance).

mslemko, can you please try with a recent build and see if the problem persists?
This worksforme with Mozilla 2003121805 on Mac OS 10.1.5.

This is really a dupe...
