Tested suggestions re plug-ins and number of bookmarks. Plug-ins: No effect from disabling plug-ins on either Ubuntu or Windows XP (machine is now re-configured dual boot with seperate hard disks)
Number of bookmarks: More interesting results. On Ubuntu: Starting from clean re-install of Firefox, Bookmarks worked as advertised with defaults. Added bookmarks as Sergio did until fault appeared. Another complete removal and re-install, repeat the test & a DIFFERENT number of the same bookmarks could be added before the fault occured. Repeated that process & got a different number of the same bookmarks added! On XP: Un-installed & re-installed, with defaults only appeared OK. Added bookmarks and fault appeared immediately with only a few added. I would add that I have done clean re-installs of Firefox on Ubuntu previously simply to get greater stability from it when several tabs have been open (without any improvement!!). I'm getting the feeling that there is an underlying problem in the design and these are only symptoms. -- bookmarks copies home page over and over https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213528 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
