465139 - bookmarks don't work

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter H Baker]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.62 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.1.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

I switched to Firefox earlier this year and liked the product, but then recently I couldn't create new bookmarks;  I couldn't even edit existing bookmarks.  I followed all the various advise, deleting some store thingie, but nothing worked.  So finally I switched to Opera, which works beautifully.  I did see when I googled that others are having this difficulty.  You really do need to fix it. I routinely copied the places.sqlite to my network drive that I am able to access via VPN and then copied it into the firefox directory on all my other computers. That was no problem until the bookmarks stopped working.
