I suspect it was just misplaced. I struggled with a similar
problem for an hour or so, until I found out that
mozilla-phoenix/firebird/firefox/any-other-fiery-mythical-beast
changed its prefs directory between name changes. IRC at some
point I had ~/.phoenix ~/.mozilla-firebird and now ~/.firefox.
Perhaps a 'find -name "bookmarks.html"' will turn up the
misplaced bookmarks file.
Maybe the developers should just settle on a relatively name like
Mozilla G2 or Mozilla XP (or can alphanumeric combinations now be
trademarked?).
