1.Crash
2.Reincstall Mozilla
3.No addresses in address book

Actual Results:  
Reinstated my bookmarks nd address books

Expected Results:  
When the address bookis kept in a different place, it is possible for the system
to be reinsstalled and save all of the address books and book marks.

Netscape 4.6 - 4.7 is set up this way and I'm thinking of going back to it for
that reason.

Look if you find the original *.mab file in your profile and check if it
contains binary garbage.
