Everything was working fine - well sometimes moz crashed out and i had to
restart inorder to use it again but then i switched no hyperthreading on my pc
and all my bookmarks have vanished.  This inculdes the toolbar folder and all
folders that i had set up myself.  The history is still there and all the
passwords i have stored are still present - just the bookmarks have vanished.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Requires Windows XP professional Edition
2.Enter the BIOS and switch on Hyperthreading
3.Login and start Mozilla

Actual Results:  
The bookmarks had vanished

Expected Results:  
Everything should have been as before - all my bookmarks should have been there

The system crash was the reason for the bookmarks loss, not the afterwards
switching to hyperthreading. 

Feel free to reopen the bug if you disagree and provide steps to reproduce the
problem.

My bookmarks had never disappeared  before mozilla started asking me to create a
profile, but if i restarted my system and logged in my bookmarks had returned
and everything was as before - the only difference was that hyperthreading had
been switched on - before i switched hyperthreading on i had obviously exited
all apps, Mozilla hadnt crashed out - it was on the first load of the app since
i had made the system change

So you didn't lost your bookmarks/profile? (only temporary?) Your problem was
only on the first startup after the system change, right? Do you still have any
problems with Mozilla?

The bookmarks are obviously still missing but everything else seems to working
fine - Mozilla still remembered my passwords and preferences - everything but
the bookmarks.  It has crashed since then but the same resolution works - log
off and then on again.

What is resolved by this? That Mozilla wants to create a new profile because the
old one is not found?

Whenever it crashes and i try to restart mozilla before logging off it prompts
me to create a new profile and will not work unless i do this - however if i log
off completely and then log back in again mozilla opens fine and all my
bookmarks etc are usually there except for when i had turned on hyperthreading :-(
