Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131105

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Loaded Mozilla.  Worked great.  Impressive.  Next day, decided to reorganize
bookmarks imported from IE in bookmark manager.  Sudden lose of power from
breaker despite APC caused unexpected shutdown.  Reboot uneventful, but restart
Mozilla and no bookmarks at all.  No original or imported IE.  Had to reimport
both original Mozilla bookmarks and IE ones but lost those bookmarks created
only with Mozilla.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Bookmark manager somehow lost the location of not only its origianl bookmarks
but those imported/created on an unexpected shutdown.  Obviously, some glitch
occured because it was open during the forced shutdown.  Only the original
bookmarks survived.

Until bug fixed, as it is annoying to loose bookmarks, those imported from IE
and those created after initial launch, and restart from scratch would recommend
users export a backup bookmark file.  Although this is tedious to do every so often.
