I went to start up firefox and got to my home page and noticed that the bookamrks on the top bar (like the 'Getting Started' and 'Latest News' on top) were gone. So were ALL (including the default ones you start with, like Google) my search engine plug-ins were gone as well. 

When I try to add a engine plug-in from http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ (like google) nothing happens. And when I try to add a bookmark when the thing (I wish I knew more about things, but please try to bare with me) pops up thats asks what folder you want to save it to and what you want to call it, when you click ok, the button depresses and nothing happens. you can click on it all you want and it dosnt save nore go away. You get it off by clicking cancel.

My extentions, themes, options etc. are fine.

And I have tried un-instaling and re-instaling. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox - not really explainable
Actual Results:  
The bookmarks and search plug-ins are missing, can't replace

Expected Results:  
Had my bookmards and search plugins.


Just my apologies for not knowing what to call these 'things' technicaly.

And yes, it does do this with the default theme.
Can you startup Firefox in -safemode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) and see if you can add a bookmark ?

Try resetting your toolbars - an option when you enter safemode. This will delete localstore.rdf, if that file was corrupted it could cause similar problems.
