Does this happen to anyone else?

I'm sorry if this is a known problem, but does anyone else have the issue (on FD 2.22b) that when the screensaver of the computer comes on, and firefox is open, upon return from the screensaver, FD deletes all fast dials and replaces them with websites from the browser history?
I know it sounds weird, but it happens to me all the time, on both Windows Vista and Linux.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have a similar problem?

Thanks for your feedback.
Please try the following:
Link
This should reset the Fast Dial Folder to the correct Bookmarks Folder, and will take Fast Dial out of the History Folder in Bookmarks.
Please let us know if your problem continues to happen,when returning from screensaver after you have reset the Fast Dial Folder.
As a matter for curiosity can you give more details about the screensaver you are using.
Many thanks

I do have the "Lock Screen" feature activated tho. I don't know if that's significant.

Thanks for the feedback.
So you are using the default screensaver of each operating system.
No third party software ?
Was it helpful to reset the Fast Dial Folder, or does your problem persist ?
Many thanks

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 18:26So far not able to reproduce your problem using standard screensaver in Windows
But with my OS have not found a way to link screensaver to lock.
What happens if you try without lock ?
Many thanks

I had the very same problem but I think it's not connected to screen saver. What I did was installing the newest beta (3.5 Beta4) and then it's started :-D
I was very close to kill somebody... but now I`m calm and relaxed :-D First I discover how to repair the problem (import your bookmarks from previous date) and then I just start to use the older version of FF. Remember thats only beta, so I`m forgiving this little (VERY ANNOYING) bug:-D
Good Luck!

thanks for your comments
I tried to reproduce this problem with 3.5b4 but could not.
Your information will be passed to the developer.
Did you try to reproduce the problem in a new Firefox Profile with only Fast Dial Loaded ?
Do you consider this a Firefox problem or a Fast Dial bug, or even an extension conflict ?
Many thanks
