History doesn't show and can't create bookmarks in FF ESR 52.3.0
None of my bookmarks are showing even though I click the star that allows me to bookmark a page. On top of that, none of my history shows up. I'm using FF ESR 52.3.0 (i have to because of my organization). Using a new MacBook Pro OS Sierra ver. 10.12.6. They don't show up anywhere, not in the toolbar, or when I try to "show all bookmarks" - no where!
Any ideas? I really need to be able to access these sites quickly and often!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

If the Places Maintenance extension can't repair the places.sqlite database then remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most 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

Thank you! I simply deleted the places.sqlite file and when I restarted FF it worked. Hope it lasts. Thanks a ton!
