How can I close the bookmark auto backup function?

cch - June 29, 2006 - 1:55pm

In PFF, there is a folder called \Data\profile\bookmarkbackups.
PFF writes bookmark backups in it. How can I turn off this function?

I don't

think that you can, its hard coded into Firefox.

I'm sorry, but you mean I have to code firefox to cancel it?

As far

as I know, yes. But what is the issue with it?

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. Smiling

because it keeps writing bookmark backup into the folder.
My bookmark is more than 400kb. If it writes 5 backups, that'll be more than 2 mb.
I only have a small 128mb thumbnail.

Please refrain from overspacing the letters in the thread title. It's distracting--akin to using all caps.

It was a paste

apparently with unicode chars in it. I fixed it.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

If it were Unicode input, wouldn't the second byte in each character be null? Null indicates the end of a string, so I'd think the text should be cut off prematurely instead of being overspaced...
