[Bug 241609] Re: Firefox 3 bookmarks lost after unclean shutdown

[JohnBender]

I had the same problem today, but I found an easier workaround. I simply
copied the old profile folder (~/.mozilla/firefox/xyz.default) in its
entirety to the same location with a new name
(~/.mozilla/firefox/foobar). Then I edited the 'profiles.ini' file
(located in ~/.mozilla/firefox) and replaced the old profile folder name
with the new one. When I ran Firefox again, the bookmarks, address bar,
and navigation buttons were all working again. (Note that if I re-edit
the profiles.ini file and put the name of the old profile folder back
into it, the problem recurs.)
