Details

User-Agent: Mozilla 1.6-3 Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.6-3 , Mozilla Debian Package 1.7.3-1 just run : dhp@pluton:~$ mozilla dhp@pluton:~$ sudo mozilla dhp@pluton:~$ mozilla then the third time, the bookmarks are lost. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mozilla 2. sudo mozilla 3. mozilla Actual Results: lost of user bookmarks
Can you check what the permissions are set to for bookmarks.html after running sudo mozilla. I guess, it sets the permissions so only root can read the files in your profile folder, which can be found under $HOME/.mozilla/default/ (or your profile name)
