Try grepping ~/.netscape/preferences.js for browser.bookmark_file Mine has a line like: user_pref("browser.bookmark_file", "/home/bkogawa/.netscape/bookmarks.html"); Perhaps Netscape has forgotten where the bookmarks file is kept, or can't read/write the listed filename. bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
