Description

[Ken Rohrer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050420
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050420

After I installed the latest version of Mozilla, I noticed that all my bookmarks
that had apostrophes were replaced by "'"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using an older version of Mozilla, name the title of a bookmark using an
apostrophe.
2. After installing the latest Mozilla, open your bookmarks to see that the
apostrophes are replaced by "apostraphies"
3. One has to manually change the symbols back into apostrophes.

Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
Apostrophes should remain unchanged in the bookmarks.
