Well, the problem is back. I deleted Flashplayer and thought that helped b/c FF ran well for several days. I ran Onyx to clean my system as I have done weekly for years while running FF. But now FF bookmark links are non responsive. I click a link and nothing happens. Well, I exported links to HTML and backed up the links too. Then removed FF using App Uninstaller. Then redownloaded FF. Imported HTML links and restored links but 50% of the bookmark folders I made are empty!!! I have been having so many problems with FF over the past few months I am about to give up entirely on FF and go back to Safari. Does Onyx not work with FF? Help please. Thanks!

I got some help from FredMcD last week but I don't know how to provide a link to that page.

Hello again.

Go to the top of any support.mozilla.org web page and press your user icon to see your Mozilla profile. Including your questions and answers.

When I click on a bookmark it does not open the webpage.

I click on website links that I have saved to the browser toolbar but it does not open the website. This happens for all weblinks.

Flashplayer is not likely to be causing this issue.
