Today, I downloaded the latest Firefox version 2.0 alpha to see how well it crashed. That's not like me but I was feeling adventurous.

I went to back up my preferences folder and it was huge. I took a look and found over 2700 bookmark files, accounting for around 3.5 GB.

I moved the files into another folder and put that on the desktop but Firefox still had them all open. I took a chance and deleted them. It seems to work just as well without them.

It wouldn't show up as one big file so it didn't really show up as a big mess. Perhaps, this will save someone else some space.
