Might not be a bad idea to edit the Lost Bookmarks KB article to include a link to the KB article about "Firefox.exe always open".RenegadeX wrote:Is this a random coincidence or is this a significant find:?:
There have been literally dozens of reports of lost bookmarks after the 2.0 update, and until now I have not seen anything that indicated why this is happening. If this user's comments can be taken at face value - it seems to suggest that bookmarks may be lost when 2.0 installs while a firefox.exe process is still running. And if the user was infected by a 'Poison Ivy'-type trojan then we can almost certainly say that a firefox.exe process was running in the background without their knowledge....

Possible connection?

As I said weeks ago, I have a hunch that we may be seeing the start of a big problem. Lost bookmarks with a 2.0 upgrade - connected to whatever has been happening with the localstore.rdf that seemd to start around the time that 1.5.0.5 was released? Or do that many users have one of these infections and just don't realize it yet because the AV program they are running doesn't look for those exploits?
