FF 65.0.1 (64-bit)

Issue: Bookmarkbar folder right click delays around 10s before showing menu. Sidebar took even longer and crashed FF. Export and backup bookmarks fail with no prompt, no error.

Tried disable addons

Solved by exit FF, remove last bookmark backup file. FF loaded with the latest changes made to bookmarks, probably sync'd from the server.

The backups are in C:\Users\Xoferif\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wut.wut\bookmarkbackups\ <backups are here>


rant 1) This forum makes it hard to find the 'new issue' button. rant 2) Every time I look at FF something else fails. rant 3) Bookmark manager is not linked properly. It should be in Open Menu -> Library -> Bookmarks (here) -> Bookmarking Tools (nor here). This is IN ADDITION to any other places it is showing now. It's OK to have more than one link to things. rant 4) "Show all bookmarks" sounds like it would "open all bookmarks"... why this name? Why not Manage Bookmarks or Library Manger? rant 5) Cant rearrange addon icons without going into edit mode. rant 6) Addon Manager and Options are separate. rant 7) Right click on toolbar Libaray icon does not link 'Manage Library'

These things are really simple basic doodads that make life easier for people, including yourself.
