The bookmark file suddenly grows in size (mine grew to over 17mb). I don't
remember doing anything special other than changing some preferences trying to
get mozilla to be the default browser (settings on the advanced>systems settings
page). After shutting the browser down, it would not restart. I deleted the
program files & reinstalled from the zip files. I had saved the bookmark file
and when I put it back in the correct directory, Mozilla would not start.
Deleting the bookmark file solves the problem.
I don't believe I can email the Bookmark file, but when I examined it with
other software, it had the same bookmarks repeating over & over. So some
routine that was writing to the bookmark file duplicated a lot of bookmarks (the
file was originally about 300kb). Moving this file into the profile directory
definately stops Mozilla from loading).
Bugs 88948 (pc - Win2000) & 88910 (Mac - 16mb bookmark file) are probably related

Umm, colgroup?
I think this is a dup, though -- it sounds like a nasty case of bug 87864 (or
maybe an even earlier instance of the same bug.)
raines@one.net, would you mind reading through bug 87864 and seeing if your
problem is similar enough to mark this a duplicate? Thanks.
