More fun. If your bookmarks vanish, the Personal Toolbar Folder - where you
put things you want to appear on your Personal Toolbar - vanishes as well.
You have to create a new folder and designate one. But Mozilla won't let you
create a new folder at the root of your bookmarks folder if it's empty, so
first you need to make one useless bookmark. Then, in "Manage Bookmarks",
select View -> Set folder as Personal Toolbar Folder. But it doesn't bloody
work! The string "NC:PersonalToolbarFolder" appears in the location field
for your selected folder, but vanishes if you restart Mozilla. So after a bit
of Googling for that phrase I found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/2/2003/05/3/59926
Which explained that you have to edit the bookmarks.html file BY HAND, and
insert the aforementioned string into the tag designating your toolbar
folder. What a load of bollocks.
