Bookmarks not saved - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

If changes to bookmarks are not being saved after restarting Firefox 3, reset the browser.places preferences to the default settings: [1] [2] [3]
Had this problem out of the box on Ubuntu. All these said "user-set" but I had not set them. Strange. |

I never actually switched to ubuntu the last time I declared OSX my nemesis. Basically, my mac came back from the shop and I kept using it and didn't have time to switch. Recently, I installed ubuntu on a box in order to investigate something. So far, I'm very happy with it. It automatically downloads proprietary drivers for hardware devices, making it arguably easier to setup than Windows. Everything seems to work properly, so I've actually been using it. With PC laptops available at a fraction of the cost of macs, this is a very reasonable option at this point. My only real complaint so far is that is that MemeStreams' fonts look terrible on it. Ghastly. Thats probably my fault, but I'm not sure how to fix it. U: Setting subpixel smoothing with full hinting seems to have improved things considerably, but the text still seems to be rendered smaller that it ought to be. |

Look on the wiki. You need to install Microsoft's TrueType fonts |
