After adding new bookmark and working a littel bit Pc crashed with blue screen.

The blue screen was caused by a kazza i think not by Firefox.

hmm, this is supposed to be fixed by bug 218636 (checkin 20040809)

I don't believe there's any good way to fix this.  Any data that is open
(bookmarks, history, etc) is susceptible to dataloss when Firefox doesn't close
properly.  bug 218636 prevents a complete loss of bookmarks, but can't easily
prevent loss of new ones.

Yep; there's nothing we can do if the browser crashes in between flushes to
disk.  We added some code in there to try to prevent the loss of /all/ your
bookmarks in the case of an incomplete write, but we can't do anything about
losing new bookmarks.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
