FF Bookmarks not being saved

Hb_Kai · 01-17-2009, 03:50 PM

Hey,
When I try storing bookmarks or bookmark folders it doesn't work.
What the problem is is; they store for that very session, but when I restart, close, or re-open FF no bookmark /folders are saved anymore.
I don't know if it's anything to do with write-permissions to the folders or anything but I still am not very used to ubuntu so don't really know what I'm doing very well.

Thanks.

Maybe you just need to edit preferences and check privacy options in Firefox.

Nope. Not that.
I've always done it this way aswell when I was on Windows.

Open /home/you/.mozilla/firefox/pn6y6lfh.default/localstore.rdf and delete localstore.rdf file.Post if it works after that.

There is no pn6yglfh file but a,

Code:

ryan@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/ryan/.mozilla/firefox
ryan@ubuntu:~/.mozilla/firefox$ dir
10pyrxc0.default  profiles.ini
ryan@ubuntu:~/.mozilla/firefox$

What's the output of that ini file?
Is 10pyrxc0.default a directory?Is anything in that file/dir?

Hb_Kai · 01-17-2009, 06:07 PM

Yeah. And there is a localstore.rdf file there too. Should I delete that one?

Hb_Kai · 01-17-2009, 06:27 PM

OK. If I do this, then my bookmarks /folders will save and stay there?

Hb_Kai · 01-17-2009, 06:34 PM

If I do this will my bookmarks and bookmark folders be saved?

(Sorry for double-posting. Didn't realise I had already posted a reply)

Yes,it should stay there,see if it works,if not,we will see what it can be done.

So far it's working. But I've only restarted FF. I'll post back tomorrow morning/afternoon. Depends when I wake up, and get back to you about it though.

But thanks for the help so far.

Hey. It's working now.
Thanks.

Though, just so I know. What did I just do? Rather than delete that localstore.rdf file.
