User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2

Since the update to Firefox 2.0b2 I'm unable to add bookmarks correctly. Adding normal bookmarks to normal folders, usually ends up saving a bookmark without title. Adding live bookmarks to bookmarks toolbar is impossible. And in the add bookmark window, when pressing the button to show every bookmark folder it doesn't show anything more than before.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In ordinary bookmarks: Bookmarks>bookmark this page> press ok and it adds the bookmark without title
2.In live bookmarks: press the "subscribe to this page" icon in adress bar, trying to add it to the bookmarks toolbar results in nothing


Actual Results:  
The bug presists

Expected Results:  
Added the bookmark with the title of the page or added the live bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar

Thanks, apparently it solved the bookmark saving, but without title, and the live bookmarks not saving in the bookmarks toolbar. I say apparently because it didn't happened always, so I have to test it more. The problem that persisted was when adding bookmarks, pressing the button to show the other bookmarks folders resulted in nothing, but I reinstalled firefox later, and it seems to have disappeard as well.

I have this problem, too. If I bookmark a page, its title disappears, always. I can only reconstruct it if I go to manage bookmarks and look at the address. The update which started this problem made all my previous bookmarks disappear. This is the worst bug I have ever seen in a browser, plus I have not yet found out any benefits I got because of the update. There should be an option to undo all changes made by an update if it does not convince.

I also have the same problem - all my bookmarks have disappeared and I can no longer add new ones. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program as per another advice string yet still have the same issues - HELP!
