Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to an url 2. open bookmarks 3. select add to bookmarks Actual Results: no bookmarks are created Expected Results: create a bookmark nothing changed, i have installed mozilla 1.6a just a minute ago and i have changed nothing.
Please check and possibly remove bookmarks.hmtl from Your profile directory (in WindowsXP it's Documents & Settings\account\Application Data\Mozilla) and give a note if it worked. Meaby it's dupe of bug 52205 ?
Did you install an exe, or a zip? Did you install ontop of 1.4.1, or into a new unused directory? Did you use the 1.4.1 profile, or created a new one? Are extensions installed? There are three places where bookmarks can be shown: Sidebar, Personal Toolbar, Bookmarks Manager. Where do you expect them? Open Bookmarks Manager, Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks, and have a look into the View Menu over there. You can set a folder as New Bookmark Folder, or New Inetrnet Search Folder, or Personal Toolbar Folder. To do so, you must select a folder, and then set it using the View menu. If the 'Set as' line is grayed out, the currently selected folder is already set for this option. I´m using the Personal Toolbar to hold my bookmarks folders, and I use drag&drop to add bookbarks. I also can change the bookmarks file in the Bookmarks Manager using Tools->Open Bookmark File... That is not importing a file, but releasing the old file and replacing it by another one. The old file stays unchanged, you can go back, if you want to. I just noticed that setting the NewBookmarkFolder doesn´t change the look of the folder in the Bookmark Manager, but adding bookmarks to this folder is working for me.

ah i`m so sorry. i`ve done a unclean installation in an old mozilla folder. after i`ve done a clean installation everything works fine. i can import all my old bookmarks.
