It looks like this is deskbar not handling a firefox bookmarks.html properly.

Robert, We need your bookmarks.html file from your firefox profile to properly diagnose the problem. If you don't mind your bookmarks being viewable to anyone in the world could you attach the file to this bug?

You can find it in .mozilla/firefox/<some_random_letters>.default/bookmarks.html, remember to change "<randomletters>" to the letters you have before ".default"

Dean,

I don't mind at all. However, I'm a complete duffer at this sort of thing. Where am I meant to be looking for this html file?

Hi Robert. It's a tricky one to describe as it's different for each person :)

If you look at the bottom of the "comment form" on this web page, there's an "add attachment box". Hit browse at the side and it'll launch the file picker. Then press CTRL+L and it'll give you a text box. Type "~/.mozilla/firefox/" then choose the item that ends in ".default". Then press "open". Select the "bookmarks.html" file, then press "open". Finally, back on the webpage, give the file a description (something like "crash causing bookmarks file" would be good), then hit "save changes".

apparently that's the same issue than bug #50958 and fixed to edgy, marking as duplicate
