Public bug reported: I am finally getting around to curating bookmarks that have accumulated since I was running Caldera -- perhaps as much as 20 years. Mostly I'm getting rid of massive duplication of folders and bookmarks. I've been saving backups copies as I go to allow me to recover if I do something stupid.
Suddenly, backups no longer work. From "show all bookmarks" -> "Import and backup" i can select either backup or export and all seems normal, but no backup is actually created. If I watch carefully, I can see the requested file being created with size 0, but it disappears within a few seconds. Since I have several profiles, I am able to verify that the places.sqlite file can be moved to a different profile, the bookmarks move with it, and the problem goes with it too. The file is about 10 MB, and not in a format for the ubuntu pastebin. If I cannot attach it, I'll need instructions.
