Can't add bookmarks

more options

Hello,

my bookmarks disappeared out of sudden. All bookmarks in the toolbar and the sidebar vanished, completely. Nothing left in the sidebar except the search input field.

Since I could not even import them from a backup I decided to reinstall firefox. Even after reinstall the problem persists. No bookmarks are shown and I can't add any bookmarks.

When I right click for example on the bookmarks toolbar and select "New bookmark ..." a new window appears with only the two buttons "add" and "cancel". No input fields, nothing else.

Very strange behavior. Any ideas?

System: Firefox 45, Windows 7

Ok, Problem solved.

I deleted the following two files places.sqlite and xulstore.json in the profile folder as described here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/.../cant-add-change-or-save-bookmarks]

After this I was able to add bookmarks again and to import my old ones.
