I drop the menu down to edit bookmarks. It shows an unedited bookmarks folder. But when I click on it I get an error message. Very unhappy about this. This was not always the case. What's happened? Is there a fix coming? HELP!

What kind of error message do you get?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I'm on a Mac. Where is any of this? Sqlite? Really? Never heard of it. And I'm using Firefox 5. If this is because FF was originally designed for Microsoft/Windows-based software that might explain the issue. FF isn't quite ready for Mac, maybe.
