Reopening this bug since it's a Camino bug and Camino's bookmark system is different than that of Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Firefox.

Michael, Camino should save a copy of the bad bookmark file aside. It'll be called something like Bookmarks-corrupted-N.plist where "N" is a number and will be located in ~/Library/Application Support/Camino. That bookmarks file will need to be edited by hand to fix whatever problems there were, but most of it can be recovered.

Please let us know if that bookmark file exists.

Whiteboard: [CLOSEME - 4/9]
This occurred with my Camino upon a normal application launch. No error in previous quit. Will respond to follow-up below requesting the corrupted .plist file. Personal specs: MacBook 2.0GHz/60GB/2GB, Mac OS 10.4.7, Camino 1.0.3.
Are you certain that you lost the pre-loaded bookmarks as well, or did you merely lose all your bookmarks, reverting the browser to the default bookmarks only?
All bookmarks were lost. There are no entries in the Bookmark Bar, the Bookmarks menu, or under any subfolder within the Bookmarks settings window.
