Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start firefox 2. add bookmark crl-d 3. click ok to add 4. click cancel to close bookmark-add window 5. list bookmarks - all there 6. close firefox with the upper right "x" 7. start firefox 8. bookmark list - empty ! Actual Results: no bookmarks storable ! Expected Results: store bookmarks and close bookmarks-add window after clicking ok !

I wonder if this is a permissions problem a bug 256054 fix would solve.

Firefox bookmarks have been forked from Mozilla bookmarks...

This is a dupe of bug 251692. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 251692 ***

Gabriel you duped this WinXP bug to a Linux bug. Either you should not have done so, or you should have changed the other to ALL.

The other bug just needs to be generalized a bit. As pointed out in the comments, it's a generic bug not limited to the single testcase the original reporter pointed out.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
