78323 - Bookmarks file can prevent Mozilla from starting up

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74969

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Matthew Cline]

Build 2001043021, Linux 2.4.4 i686, RedHat 6.1, XFree86 4.0.2

Something happened to my bookmarks file so that Mozilla wouldn't start
up.  I'll make an attachment of a file that causes this.

Also, what's causing the stickage seems to be duplicate entries in the
bookmarks file; everytime Mozilla is shutdown, it seems to add copies of
bookmarks, but these never get seem in the UI (I guess I should add another
bug for this).  I made a Perl script to strip out duplicate bookmarks, and
running the script seems to take care of the problem.  I'll also make
an attachment of the shrunk, working bookmarks file, and the perl script.

The point of stickage having a stack trace like this:

Attachment: bzip2'd bookmarks file which freezes Mozilla during startup

Comment 2

[Matthew Cline]

Attachment: Shrunken bookmarks file (non-compressed) which doesn't cause freeze

Comment 3

[Matthew Cline]

Attachment: Perl script which removes duplicate bookmarks from a bookmarks file

Comment 4

[hirata masakazu]

dupe of bug 73873

Comment 5

[Matthew Cline]

I don't think that this is a dup of bug 73873.  That is a bug for the
growing of bookmarks; this is a bug that results from the huge bookmark
files that bug 73873 creates.

Comment 6

[Darcy O'Neil]

I'm seeing this on Win2K build ID: 2001043004

The bookmark file expanded from 198kb to 20Mb after two uses of this Mozilla
build. On the third try Mozilla hangs and uses 100% of the CPU.

Work around for now is to delete the enlarged file and just copy my bookmark
backup file back into the directory.

[Diego Biurrun]

The issue of growing bookmarks files and blocked startup has been resolved.

VERIFIED Dupe - although the growing bm part isn't quite fully
resolved, there are other bugs however.
