Reset of Firefox

[schtroumpf]

First, thank you evry much for an equivalent of CCleaner on Linux. It's very useful !

So, in the last release, 0.5.0 with python 2.6, when is use it for clean firefox, it seems to delete bookmarks. Just bookmarks, preferences are kept.

Ah, i check all checkboxs about firefox.

Have a nice day !

You are saying you checked all the Firefox boxes and BleachBit deleted your bookmarks? And you don't want BleachBit to delete your bookmarks? The description of "Places" clearly states that it deletes bookmarks. The reason is that Firefox places Bookmarks and URL history in a single file, and the most secure way to delete them (if you use shredding) is to delete the whole file. If you don't want to delete bookmarks, just check URL history instead.

Please reply whether I understood correctly.
