I had to re-install Mandrake 10.1 due to some stupidity on my parrt. Before I did I backed up my home folder onto CD. After re-installing, I installed firefox and thunderbird with urpmi. I also restored the home folder from the CD. I saw immediately that the firefox was an older rev tried to use the version of firefox in my home folder (from the CD backup). It worked fine, until I tried to save bookmarks. The bookmarks stayed in the list until I shutdown firefox. I tried uninstalling both the older copy via the control panel and deleting the folder that had my backup copy. I then installed 1.0 via the installer. STill the same problem. I did find out that if I logged in to a root console and started firefox that way the bookmarks persisted. It was only starting from my account. I was able to solve the problem by removing the folders, in a root night commander console deleted the mozilla in my root folder and my account folder, the downloading 1.0.1 and installing to a folder in my home. Now I can save bookmarks.
Tonight, I am going to try and go through the same procedure with Thunderbird which does not save my accounts. -- Christopher Taylor - Registered Linux User #383327 If this message is sent to a mailing list please 'Reply to List' or re-write the To field.
