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.
