I ran firefox refress and afterward when I try to bookmark a webpage, I click on the "star" icon but webpage does not show up as bookmarked.
I ran firefox refresh. Afterward, bookmarking doesn't seem to be working at all. I click on the "star" icon to bookmark the webpage but it never copies the web address over to the "see all bookmarks". Also, I tried to restore my bookmarks from a backup and when I clicked on any one of the numerous backup dates, I got the error message "unable to process the backup file".

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created

I was having other problems with bookmarks and posted another question under this forum and got a response to run firefox in safe mode, see if the problem still occurred (it didn't) and then one of the possible solutions was turn off some hardware accelerator or optimizer and that solved the problem.
