Firefox only shows bookmarks as sudo

[lolwhites]

I started Firefox-3 in sudo and checked for upgrades. Nothing new, but when I restarted, all the bookmarks were gone and FF won't restore them. I only get my full profile in FF-3 when I start is as sudo, which I obviously don't want to do while browsing the net. How can I restore it?

Try this,
Get in with sudo
Import the bookmarks
exit
get in WITHOUT sudo
export that bookmars file

Maybe a permission issue, that the firefox settings are owned by root and non-root users cannot write to them. If that's the case, try:

sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.mozilla
