In the first case the bookmark is not filed too. Today I have seen the counting number I have found was 9999 and Mozilla interrupts his work in Mail and Navigator window every few seconds. I can see that this is happening even if nobody touches the running system, every 15 seconds. I have a multi-user system where the other user(s) (my wife) share my bookmarks and mail-account, which is installed in my personal files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Dup of bug 157152? Is your bookmark.html file permission set to read only?
(In reply to comment #1) > Dup of bug 157152? Is your bookmark.html file permission set to read only? No, this has been my first check.
The profile directory was read-only. I have used as CD-Backup for transfer from my old system. Now it works!
