can't create bookmarks in firefox 4
Just upgraded to 4 in W7. No matter which way I try to create a bookmark, when I check my bookmarks list, the new bookmark just isn't there- happens both with saving to unsorted bookmarks and to a category.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
I went through the various options in the links you posted, thanks for that, and it was this part that enabled me to once again save bookmarks (**on Linux**):-
// Export bookmarks from firefox, e.g. to home dir, then:-
cd .mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/
// quit firefox
rm bookmarks.html
rm places.sqlite
rm places.sqlite-journal
cd bookmarkbackups/
rm *.json
cd ..
rm localstore.rdf
cp ~/bookmarks.html .
// start firefox, customizations are lost, e.g. toolbar icons, so have to redo them
