Why is bookmarking a page stalling and freezing?
I work on a Mac Pro Tower...
I noticed that a few weeks ago, when I bookmarked a page, Firefox gave me an option dialog box where (which folder) I can save the bookmarked page. Instead, now it says the page has automatically been saved and all the options I had before freezes up for 1-5 seconds and disappears.
Then I have to re-select the 'bookmark' tab then 'Edit bookmark' -- unlike before, the options box doesn't allow me to change the name of the bookmarked page, and seldom allows me to choose which folder to save it to.
Then I have to painstakingly have to search where the bookmarks are in the library.
I really don't understand why every time I upgrade to a new version of Firefox, basic (great) features of Firefox become defective?
Thanks for your help!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
