I remember when Firefox destroyed my RSS bookmarks with no opportunity for recourse.

The recourse is addons.

Destroying bookmarks goes a bit beyond what addons can fix.

It didn't destroy them. It turned them static and can also create a `Firefox feeds backup.opml` that can be imported by feed readers.

Sure this may not be the best situation but they didn't simply destroy live bookmarks.

Well, I guess your mileage may vary on that one.
