(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Shining]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)

If there's no space left on the device that contains your home directory,
Firefox chashes when trying to close the bookmark window.
If you don't clean your home partition, Firefox won't start again. Actually
Firefox crashes with a segmentation fault signal. 

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
FIRST BUG
1.mozilla-firefox &
2.dd if=/dev/zero of=~/foo
3.(wait for system out-of-space-error message)
4.(click on "Manage bookmarks..." and alter something)
5.(close the bookmark window)

SECOND BUG
A.dd if=/dev/zero of=~/foo
B.mozilla-firefox &
C.(some "this-and-that-are-missing" lines on stderr)
D.(Firefox exited with signal 11)
Actual Results:  
FIRST BUG
All your changes to the bookmarks are lost.

SECOND BUG
It doesn't produce any warning in the GUI environment, so inexperienced users
can't guess what's wrong with that.

Expected Results:  
FIRST BUG
When clicking on "Manage bookmarks...", open a popup with a warning to the user,
like: "Sorry, can't manage your bookmarks right now. Free some space and try again"-

SECOND BUG
Open a popup with a warning to the user, like: "Sorry, I need some free space in
your home directory to run. Get rid of the most unuseful files and try again".
Then exit with a error code greater than 0.

Sorry, I think other information is not relevant. If you think I'm wrong, please
contact me.
