User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

I think I may have been successful in exporting my bookmarks from the other profile..........But, I lost the entire organization of them and because of that I cannot be sure IF I have all the bookmarks from the other profile. Can you help???

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open FF: Library: Application Support: FF: Choose old profile
2. Manage Bookmarks
3. File: Export Bookmarks

Actual Results:  
It exported and imported something  (3x actually); but I don't know if these were old bookmarks or if they are the ones I had currently on FF.  Is there a way to uninstall this 2.0.0.4 and just go back to what I was using?

Expected Results:  
Well, I would have expected it to import my bookmarks in the same fashion as I had them organized.  I updated once before on FF and it imported them perfectly and I didn't have to do a thing!!

I understand I loose bookmarks each day...........How can we expedite this process?????

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
I think you suffer from a corrupt localstore.rdf (if you lose your bookmarks each day).
Bugzilla is a bugs database for developers and not really the right place for end user support. The mozillazine forums are better equipped for that: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38

Bulk closing all UNCONFIRMED bugs dealing with places that haven't had any bug activity in over 120 days, have no votes, and are not enhancement requests.

If you are still experiencing this issue in Firefox 3.0 or later, please re-open the bug with steps to reproduce (if they were not part of the original comment).
