Cant add new bookmarks to firefox

tiger025 · 06-11-2009, 12:03 AM

I can not seem to add New Bookmarks to firefox. All my existing bookmarks are still there and work fine, however when I go to bookmark this page, I just get a blank edit this bookmark dialog box.

I've tried manually enter bookmarks by just pasting the url and giving it a name. This does add it, however when you click on it, nothing happens, and when I go to the properties, it opens a glitched properties window, where only the top of the window appears.

I see people on the firefox forums were directly to this link:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_..._places.sqlite

I'm not sure what steps I should try first so that I don't lose all my bookmarks. I can make a backup, but I guess it will just be glitched like how it is now, so I'm not sure what to do, to save my book marks.
