Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

Description

[Tom]

Have been using M16 for a week but after some time it would not load but then I
started to brows my mozilla dirs and found out that mozilla had made my
bookmarks to over 3.5mb.

And when I opend the bookmark file in a editor it was one link that had been
added humongus times.

I have not seen anything like this in recent mozilla bits on 98 or NT.  
bookmakrs look fineon my current 071008 builds.

Could be a corrupted bookmarks.rdf file i guess. That's been a problem earlyer.
Reporter: Can it be that you saw wrong file with that large size?
The file you attached is only 629K when unpacked, but you mention something in
the size of 3.5 MB?
You can try deleting the "bookmarks.rdf" file on disk - it will be recreated
when you start again.

If you still have the same build there, report back and tell how it goes - if it
solved the problem-link as well.

bookmarks are not growing in current builds.  Can you grab a current nightly 
builds and delete your old profile and mozregistry.dat file and re-open this bug 
if you still see the problem.  Thanks.

from reporter:

I have been using M17 v71320 for some days and looks like this bug does not
happen in this version.
I'll keep u posted if this happens again.
