That is the downside to developers trying to make applications think for you...
I suspect it has to do with the ever growing sqlite3 magic that is continually
taking place. Personally flat files for bookmark backends worked fine and were
significantly faster that the current database backend. Of course they didn't
provide near the query capability, but, I don't especially need or want to slice
and dice my bookmarks to that extent.

Wolfgang, you have any further info from the Mozilla folks on the issue? Is
there any way to disable the database backend and simply revert to flat files
for bookmark/whatever handling through about:config or gconf...?
