Same issue here. Also, when I try to modify my preferences a dialog called "Save
Error" pops up and states the following: "Failed to save the preferences file.
any preference changes will be lost at the end of this session."

I can't install new themes also. I haven't tried installing a new extension though.

I've tried creating a new Profile, and I've tried deleting Firefox and
reinstalling newer Firefox builds, but still no luck.  I still can't save
bookmarks on this PC, at my work PC, I have no problems.

delete your profile and start firefox
this is most likely caused by a bad extension or theme

I originally submitted this.

I think it can be closed, since it probably had to do with Firefox not properly
handling some bad extensions.

I use clean profiles and have not had problems importing/exporting boookmarks
