Description

Our Tor Project bookmarks are not used by default in the ESR52-bssed TB nightly builds (I saw this problem on OSX with the builds mentioned here: comment:1:ticket:21875).

Although our bookmarks.html file is included in browser/omni.ja, it seems to be ignored. Maybe ESR52 uses a new mechanism for configuring the default bookmarks.

I just checked this on
​https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/builds/7.0a3-build4/tor-browser-linux64-7.0a3_en-US.tar.xz
and the bookmarks are present. Maybe this is OS X specific?

Summary: default bookmarks not used → OSX: default bookmarks not used

Yes, it is OSX-specific. The mechanism that Firefox uses when creating a new profile (which only happens on OSX with Tor Browser) must have changed.

Mozilla changed the location of the default bookmarks within browser/omni.ja and also added them to the language packs. Here is a patch:
