lftp: where are bookmarks stored on debian jessie?

Bookmarks are saved but I get an empty (new file) when I run bookmark edit inside lftp and I don't have any ~/.lftp/bookmarks file.

For information, I add bookmarks like this:

$ lftp sftp://username@mysitehost
$ password:
lftp> bookmark add mysite
lftp> exit

and then I can use the bookmark like this

$ lftp mysite
$ password:
lftp>

Despite running lftp as a regular user, I found that lftp actually stores the bookmarks in root's files (despite lftp> bookmark edit opening a blank file).

Check:

/root/.local/share/lftp/bookmarks

Nowadays the bookmarks are stored in the file ~/.local/share/lftp/bookmarks

You can still edit them with

lftp
bookmark edit
