79410 - Bookmark file grows at startup after importing bookmarks

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73873

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Kristian Sorensen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i686; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505
BuildID:    2001050521

When importing a bookmark file, previously exported from mozilla the file size
of the bookmark file grows for each time mozilla is opend.

After inspecting the content of the bookmark file, I found the following: The
problem seems to be that multible instances of the same bookmarks in the
Personal Toolbar Folder or multible instances of the Personal Toolbar Folder
makes mozilla multiply the number of equal bookmarks for each time it is opend.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla with an empty .mozilla or non-existing directory (on GNU/Linux).
2. Add a number of bookmarks, e.g., IBM and SUN.
3. Export the bookmarks to a file.
4. Exit mozilla.
5. Delete the .mozilla directory and start mozilla again.
6. Import the previously exported bookmark file.
7. Start and exit mozilla a couple of time.


Actual Results:  For each time you restart mozilla (and it parses the bookmark
file), it repeats the duplicate bookmarks over and over again. For each time
this happends it multiply the number of equal bookmarks.


Expected Results:  I'm not sure. May be it should recognized the existance of
dublicate bookmarks and ignore them uppon import (and insertion, see bug #10198).


This bug may have relation to bug #41502 and bug #10198.
