I click "bookmark this page", then OK, it just hangs there and does nothing. If I  attempt to add a site to one of my bookmark folders it does nothing. It does not open any of the saved bookmark folders. I get a new button that says "new folder". All my old bookmarks are still there but am not able to add any. I have attempted to fix the issue for 2 or 3 days now. I have run out of options. It just happened about 3 or 4 days ago.  

Reproducible: Always

Probably the localstore.rdf in your profile is corrupted. If you delete the file it will be regenerated automatically.

Hey this fix works well. This also fixed another issue that came up. When I highlight text, then right clicked to "search the web" for the term, it wouldn't. Once I deleted the "localstore.rdf" file I was good to go.
