I have five disk drives devoted just for backups. I know prefs can be an issue along with entire system or anything else.
My only question is why not use a 5.5-specific plist? or "profile"
that way you can run a SP versions and still run your 'stable' 5.1 version, and they can exist side by side - with their own sub-folder directory.
5.5 could import or ask to import bookmarks on firist launch.
cookies could be copied.
I still don't know why - and it seems like I am the only user affected on this - that SP12 'broke' or didn't like a good .plist file.
maybe I should send a copy in via feedback.
A lot of file corruption can be due to memory errors, or disk errors (though EEC cache and such should help prevent a disk drive error), or lack of UPS and losing power. none of that should apply here.
The old plist at 92K is a lot to look through, 'needle in haystack' to find something that might be offending entry.
