Firefox 4.0 forgot all bookmarks when upgrading 10.10 > 11.04

[Detlef Lechner]

Binary package hint: firefox

I dist-upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 alpha3. Firefox changed automatically to version 4.0. Version 4.0 has no longer my old bookmarks.
I expect that Firefox automatically keeps my old booksmarks from before Ubuntu upgrading.

Not only I lost my previous bookmark, but I'm not able currently to add new ones. This happened on my desktop with update-manager but not on my netbook for which I used a USB stick.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this was a one time occurrence and the bug report can now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately two months time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
