Is your Issue reproducible without Extensions in Safe-Mode and/or using a new Profile?

Seems ok in safe mode.  created a new profile, seems to work except, cannot import bookmarks.

You can either move your places.sqlite file or use the Import Feature from the Bookmarks Library.

found IE bookmarks but was using firefox book marks.  where are they?  they were current and favored.  used IE bookmarks only as back up.
