But any new changes I try to make revert back. I tried to add a new bookmark file (for my Work Mail) and delete an old one from my bookmark toolbar. The changes appear immediately. But once I restart Firefox, the changes I've made disappear. The new file is no longer there, and the old file has returned. The same occurs whenever I try to change the order of the current bookmarks: all changes revert back to original state after restart. The same also occurs when I try to add or delete a bookmark to my bookmarks in general (i.e. not just when I try to add to Bookmark Toolbar). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Bookmarks --> Organize Bookmarks 2. Select Bookmarks Toolbar 3. Right click on the whitespace in the Bookmarks Toolbar box and select "New Bookmark" 4. Create new bookmark -- make sure it appears in Toolbar folder immediately 5. Close Firefox 6. Restart Firefox. Actual Results: No new bookmark appears after restart. Expected Results: My new bookmark should remain after restart.
I also have this bug. I am using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 Not sure whats really going on here. Some bookmarks have saved. Lately none will. They immediately disappear upon restart. Not sure how to confirm, but its definitely the same bug. Any answers as of yet?
can you check if your config importBookmarksHTML is set to true, and set it to false if that's the case? also please try in safe mode to disable add-ons: http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
