Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 193567

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[adrienne]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I was writing an email and needed to go to the interenet, so i minimized outllok
express compose, and open mozilla. It opened as normal, with my home page as CNN
and all my link tabs showing.  When i found the site I needed I highlighted the
site and right clicked to copy the site I was on so I could paste the www
address into my email.  When I went back to compose on OE I accomplished my
goal, and sent the email.  But, when i went back to Mozilla It was gone.  All my
links, bookmarks home page everything.....I've never had that problem with IE,
so I will not use Firefox again.  That was a costly bug.  Now, all those
valuable links and bookmarks are gone.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
There should not have been a complete dumping of my mozilla firefox.  For it to
completely empty....:(

Stinks like a win98 bug...

And your datas may be alive. Try to see in C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\
or something like this.

Don't look like a firefox bug...

Invalid as it seem to be not a firefox bug ?

Preventing profile data loss in case of a browser crash is bug 193567.
