Description Johann Lo 2006-06-21 14:36:47 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Deskbar won't search firefox bookmarks
Cannot enable the Web Bookmarks option in preferences
When running manually in terminal via deskbar-applet -w, and then trying to replicate fault, I get following error

Initializing Web Bookmarks
Error retreiving Mozilla Bookmarks: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'
Error while initializing Web Bookmarks: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
a.) I am using custom firefox RPM, not the one supplied w/ distro (FC5). However my profile is in same location (~/.mozilla/firefox) and as far as I recall it didn't work with default firefox either
