90708 - bookmarks do not appear in sidebar after upgrade from 0.8.1

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 71685

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ross Bagley]

Had ximian ver ?? install of Mozilla 0.8.1 over basic RedHat 7.1, developed nice
big bookmark tree.  Installed Mozilla 0.9.2 via the net installer.  

Now I don't see any bookmarks in the sidebar.  All bookmarks are visible from
the "Bookmarks" menu and the View->"Set As..." options do sane things.  Also,
the manage bookmarks window is labelled "Bookmarks for default" though I do have
two mail profiles with my actual name (may not be relevant).

The bookmarks file I attached appears to be truncated.  Any hint on what I might
have done wrong?

From release notes (http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.2/)

"If the bookmark item in the sidebar doesn't work, remove the bookmarks tab
from the sidebar and then re-add it. Click on the "Tabs" button in the Sidebar
and select the Customize My Sidebar menu item. In the resulting dialog, remove
the bookmarks tab, hit OK and restart Mozilla. Go back to the Customize window
and add the bookmarks tab. (Bug 71685)"

Could you test if this helps?
