Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 157152

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

I left my computer working and in few hours I get a information that I don't have any space on my C partition. Then I found 9344 bookmarks files in "C:\Documents and Settings\Marcin Drozdowski\Dane aplikacji\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wz0st2ot.default" (mask bookmarks-%d.html, where %d is in 1- 9344), every file has the same data and use 226KB, so all over 2GB. I don't know what happened. I found the reason, but I think not everybody will find, and then they can leave your software. That's why I marked this as critical.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
when I was deleting only few files, fireforx in the same time was creating new, just when I deleted all (except bookmarks.html), it stoped
