When I click on bookmarks it just brings up a large gray page with nothing on it.

I click on "Bookmarks" in the tool bar and a large gray screen comes up which normally would have all of my bookmarks showing on it. Now, suddenly it does not show any bookmarks, or the usual menu items where I could at least go in and try to change something to fix this.

Sorry, that is the only extension that I have seen for recent versions of Firefox, which displays the bookmarks menu bar drop-down in multiple columns.

Overall, that one is the third attempt by different people to create an extension to do that, over the last 5 or 6 years, and it is the most complete - but it is still unfinished, IMO. It probably won't be updated for the new Firefox 4.0 and will "die" as the other two did.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Looks like it was a problem with the multi-column add on for bookmarks. Odd that it was working fine one day but not the next. Removed that add on and now the bookmarks all show up in a single column. If you know of any other add ons that put bookmarks in multi-column I'd love to hear about it. One of my biggest complaints with IE and FF is this single column for bookmarks. Thanks again for the help.

You're welcome. I wish I would have been able recommend an extension that works, though - I have tried every every extension like that that I have ever found. Because I don't like that long scrolling list either, I don't even usually use the Bookmarks menu bar drop-down, I access my bookmarks from the Sidebar which has a "proper" scroll bar for the long list, and which I find easier to use.

Good point. I'll probably start doing that myself.
