286340 - bookmarks lost

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 249150

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Howell Ruehl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

I am not sure what keeps happening, but I keep losing my bookmarks.  I am not
sure SPYSUBTRACT (anti-spyware program) is responsible for this, but what can be
done?  I cannot remember all of the sites that I had, but this is ridiculous! 
Thanks!

Reproducible: Didn't try

Are you on a work computer attached to a domain or a home computer? If you're on
a domain computer, it might be that your profile gets reset every time you log
in. At which point, you would need to talk to your IT administrators about
setting up Firefox.

Can you verify that the same profile even exists when you log in? It should be
located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Check to see if the folder changes names every time you lose your bookmarks. If
so, then something is deleting it and it's getting re-created every time you
start Firefox again.

We have test machines that we don't have any problem with blowing away bookmarks
in order to test this.  But without reproducable steps this bug will remain
unconfirmed and unattended.

If you have reproducable steps, please provide them. thank you.

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