However: 1. I have looked at places.sqlite using squlite3 and I can't find anything that looks like my bookmarks. 2. I have begun to add bookmarks to firefox again.Does firefox see that the places.sqlite is fouled up and some recreate it again with the new bookmarks. I am trying to get a handle on how this bookmark system works so I appreciate any clarification anyone can give me -- ======================================================================= "Fantasies are free."
