You mean that your bookmarks disappear and the default ones appears? Also, you build is quite old, try a newer one.

> bookmarks reactivate but I lose them again, and again do you mean reinstalling Mozilla will return your bookmarks? this could be bug 164244 reporter, we need more information

This happens for me in Mac OS X as well, using nightly from April 4: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030404 Symptoms: new bookmarks created during a session are lost when the browser is restarted. Older bookmarks remain intact. I started noticing this a few weeks ago, using (I think) 1.3. Initially, the browser would remember ONE bookmark created during a session, i.e.: (using Moz 1.3) 1. browse to site 1 2. add site 1 to bookmarks 3. browse to site 2 4. add site 2 to bookmarks ... etc. 5. quit Mozilla 6. start Mozilla result: site 2 is gone, but site 1 remains bookmarked. Now, using April 4 nightly, all the new bookmarks disappear when the browser is quit. This is not a dupe of bug 164244, since nothing is corrupted and the bookmarks don't revert to defaults; only brand new bookmarks are lost.
The report of OS X in comment 4 looks around the time of bug 200498 which has been fixed. The orginal bug here may be a related to bug 188401 (looks too early for bug 200498) Joe, have you tried a newer build, and if so are bookmarks doing ok?
Looks like bug 200498 was it. Bookmarks are working for me in Mac OS X again. Thank you!
Reporter, Is this still occuring for you in the latest build ? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/
This particular bug was fixed about a month ago (see comment #6 above). HOWEVER, in the latest nightly, something else weird is happening. The first window when starting Mozilla shows none of my Personal Toolbar bookmarks on the toolbar. They're all there in the Bookmarks menu, but don't show on the toolbar. All new windows show the toolbar bookmarks correctly. Weird. This is all in Mac OS X.
Ok, marking this one works for me. The other problem mentioned is http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ show_bug.cgi?id=204022
