Steps to reproduce:

I tried to book mark a page.

Actual results:

Nothing! Absolutely nothing!!!

Expected results:

It should have asked me where to Bookmark the page and then done so!!!

I hope you can fix this soon!!! I also could NOT bookmark in 60.7.2esr, but had no issues with the previous version!!!

Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History

How are you bookmarking? If you're clicking the star, did it turn blue, but not show you a dialog? If so, try clicking the star again, then near the bottom check "Show editor when saving".

If that doesn't help, please try this:

  • Go to the three-bar menu -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information
  • Scroll down the page to find the "Places Database" section (it is near the bottom).
  • Click the "Verify Integrity" button, this may take a few seconds to run.
  • Please copy/paste and post the output of that section here.
  • Then restart Firefox and see if that helps.

My apologies. I ONLY received the one comment.

To answer your question, I was using the bookmark menu. I did go and try to use the blue star and also Ctrl + D, but nothing worked.

Here is how I was able to resolve the issue. First I tried updating to the newest ESR version, but it did not help. So, I did some research, and found the following article on fixing bookmarks.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-add-change-or-save-bookmarks

I followed the steps to Fix the Bookmarks file and it worked!!!

I am so relieved!!!

I did NOT follow the steps above because I am just now seeing them.

If I had seen them I would have definitely have gone thru them!!!

Thank you for your help, Marco.
