586207 - Backup-ing bookmarks produces invalid JSON

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 505656

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[radko.dinev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.8

When I exported my bookmarks the file had the following format:

{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":1278869559086000,"lastModified":1279009682991523,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{},{},{},]}

There is one extra comma in the "children" array (the last one) which makes the JSON invalid. I tested on two different sets of bookmark entries and happened on both of them. So it is a bookmark-independent problem, I guess.


Reproducible: Always
