Beginning today my new bookmarks are not being saved. I read several KB articles and have tried: - making sure the bookmarks file is not read-only - reset browser.places in about:config - renamed the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal, and restarted Firefox.

None of that worked. Is there another fix to try?

Hi John, are you not able see Bookmark icon or let us know briefly what kind of problem you are facing when you try to bookmark!

Bookmarks are not being saved. I still have my existing bookmarks. All existing bookmarks work.

But when I click on "bookmark this page", it never gets added.

There's really nothing to take a screenshot of, other than my old bookmarks.

cor-el,

Yes, thank you. That is one of the steps that I had tried, and it did not work. "renamed the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal, and restarted Firefox"
