Bookmarks at bottom of page are blocked by grey dialog box that pops up over bookmark at first click, and no way to double click to open after it's covered. I really hate change that breaks stuff that worked fine before. STOP DOING THAT. ALSO, for a while, I had NO dates with my bookmarks. What's up with that?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.

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

  • use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
    in case errors are reported close and restart Firefox and retry

See also:

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
