Did you change prefs file?

What linux distro is this again. I never saw this in rh7.2.

The promotional ones are cancer anyway. They come back even after I kill
them.

In my netscape all users have own bookmarks in:

~/.netscape/bookmarks.html

Perhaps posting your bookmarks lines:

$ grep -i bookmark .netscape/preferences.js  | more

user_pref("bookmarks.outliner_geometry",
"100x(4)Name:88;Location:86;LastVisited:34;CreatedOn:69;");
user_pref("browser.bookmark_file",
"/home/follinge/.netscape/bookmarks.html");

Note the path to my bookmarks? What's yours? Or am I missing something
here?

Fred
