Bug Description

Firefox 3.0.10 on Jaunty.

When adding a bookmark with the option to always erase personnal information (edition menu, options, private life - a guess, since my system is not in english), the bookmark added during the session will be erased when closing Firefox.

This is not a wanted option - If I choose to add a bookmark, I want this bookmark to be conserved, but I still want the personnal information to be wiped out (history, cookies, etc.)

Not sure anymore about the way to reproduce.

When I posted, disabling the "Auto-clean when logging out" option seemed
to clear the problem, but after a couple ou days, the problem is back
again, with the option disabled.

Extensions enabled :

Adblock Plus 1.0.2
AntidoteMozilla, from Druide Informatique AntidoteRX (v.8) spellchecking
program : http://www.druide.com/
Boost for facebook 9.3.2
CustomizeGoogle 0.76
DownloadHelper 4.4
GooglePreview 3.20
Konquefox 1.7.0
Stylich 1.0.1
Sxipper 2.2.1
Tab Wheel Scroll 2008118
Tweak Network 1.3
Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.7

Disabled Extensions :

NoScript 1.9.2.8
Zotero 1.0.10

All downloaded from the Firefox extension manager

Adding Bookmarks seems to work fine, until I try to classify them under
a precise "folder".

The bug seems very random, but more than half the time, the added
bookmark is gone when restarting Firefox.

Regards,

Jean-François
