OK. The latter error (about /var/tmp/Mozilla/factest) is my cache cleanup
not having permissions to kill that dir. It shouldn't be trying to kill
that dir unless factest was the current Mozilla user and had created the
directory, though, so it should have rights to kill it. Will investigate
further.
The other part is a new one on me. I've managed bookmarks in tests with no
trouble. I will try it some more and see what happens, but I may have to
come back to you and see if something has gone strange with your bookmarks
info or some such.
