"My Bookmarks" shows blank name, someone else's bookmarks - 18 views

  I re-started firefox (iceweasel) on Linux, and found that "My bookmarks" in the tool bar now says "bookmarks for" with no name. I restarted again, logged in and logged out, but the problem remains.
  
  I show two bookmarks, which is the number I had before, but the bookmarks aren't mine. They might possibly share some keywords with my original bookmarks.
  
  The "QuickD" button is visible, even though my options called for no such button.
  
  I think I'll just remove the toolbar entirely; but I will wait for a short while in case someone wants me to test something.

  Thanks for reporting.
  
  We've not tested firefox (iceweasel) on Linux yet. Suspect that the several issues you have reported are related to that. We try to support platforms that majority of users use.
  
  If you don't mind, would you mind helping us quickly to test our FF diigolet in that environment? Thanks!

  Here's the sequence of events. I am attempting to reconstruct all the fiddling around I've done this morning. I have to drop this soon for the day, as you might imagine.
  
  * Used Digolet to create annotations.
  
  * Installed toolbar
  
  That seemed to work. I could see annotations.
  
  Forwarded the annotated page, and that didn't work.
  
  Did some install/uninstall of other annotation software (a Greasemonkey script, Google's Notebook). Restarted.
  
  Uninstalled the plugin to see if that would fix the problem of oddly formatted notes and invisible annotations.
  
  Restarted.
  
  Re-installed plugin, restarted. Experienced problem with wrong bookmarks and wrong buttons present.
  
  (At least, I *think* that was the sequence. I am frankly not certain, and the problem may have occured a little later in this timeline.)
  
  Attempted a foward, still could not see floating annotations.
  
  DId a few more restarts.
  
  Right now, the wrong info still appears in the "My bookmarks," even though the right info appeared earlier. Furthermore, the bookmarks are correct under "My Bookmarks" at the web site.
  
  The floating annotations I made using both Digolet and the toolbar are visible on Linux Firefox/Iceweasel. The style of the annotations has suddenly changed.
  
  The floating annotations are *not* visible on my Mac using Digolet.
  
  Annotations attached to highlights remain visible.

  I restarted the browser. Now highlighted annotations appear in a different format, the bookmarks are correct, but the floating annotations are missing.
  
  IIRC, the last time I got into this state I logged out and possibly removed the plugin in order to see the annotations.
  
  I have to abandon this for a while, and will not be at my desk on Weds and Thurs, but should be able to monitor this forum for a while yet today.
