My bookmark backups have random strings of letters attached since installing v. 31.

Since 7/24, when I installed v. 31, my bookmark backups look like this:

bookmarks-2014-07-29-1423_RIOEoEU8MwqJY1KcDhE==.json

I'm not having any problems with the program and already did a deep scan with my A-V today. Are these files normal for v. 31?

I hadn't checked that, but I see those, too. Hmm..

Okay, this is intentional. The random-looking characters are a hash of the file contents. When Firefox goes to generate a new backup, it compares the hash of the previous file and, if the new backup would have the identical hash it doesn't bother saving the new backup. The advantage is, since only a certain number of backup files are saved, you'll now have them covering a longer period of time.
