AFAIK Mozilla only saves bookmarks once the window is closed (either by the user
or by Mozilla exiting). While this minimise disk writes which can be extensive
with a large bookmark file (see bug 101319) it is very frustrating to find and
bookmark a site, and then have Mozilla crash and then have lost your newly-added
bookmark.
There should be an option entitled "Always save bookmark file straight after
modification" or "Save bookmarks every X minutes" etc.
Bugs like 101319 do present a different view, but I would doubt that storing
profiles (and therefore bookmarks) via a slow NFS link *and* having a large
bookmark file is a very common situation.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a bookmark.
2. Cause Mozilla to crash or kill -9 it :-)
3. Reload Mozilla.
4. Bookmarks added before crash will not appear.
Actual Results:
Added bookmarks did not appear.
Expected Results:
Bookmarks should remain, and every effort should be taken to ensure the user
doesn't lose their bookmarks!
