Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021210 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021210 Summary pretty much describes it. I started mozilla and suddenlly my homepage and bookmarks were gone. Also, I'd start mail and mozilla would prompt me to a new account dialog. Browsing my ~/.mozilla dir, it contains a Mail directory and, within this, dirs for different mail acconunts and within these files for Inbox, Sent, etc... When I cat Inbox | grep something i can see contents of previously received email. However, mozilla refuses to read these dirs and files. Always prompts me for a new accont dialog. One thing I've noticed: this occured 3 times, now. A common aspect is that this only occurs shortly (days) after I created message filters. Can't tell if it's related or not. I didn't try to reproduce the bug (I try to keep my important messages) Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
