887476 - Bookmarks Menu no longer shows my bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Paul Sidorsky]

Attachment: Screenshot of now-empty Bookmarks menu

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded from 21.x to 22.0.


Actual results:

Bookmarks no longer show up in the Bookmarks menu.  It only shows one "Unsorted Bookmarks" entry at the bottom.  If I bookmark a page or add things to this entry they still do not show on the menu.  The Bookmarks Menu with all bookmarks intact is still present in "Show All Bookmarks" but I cannot get them to show in the menu.  I cannot delete the Unsorted Bookmarks entry either.


Expected results:

Bookmarks should show at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu as usual.

Can you please start firefox in safe mode and see if the bookmarks appear?

Restarting in safe mode worked.  I then began to suspect the LiveClick add-on as it was the only one I had installed that touches bookmarks.  I disabled this add-on and restarted normally and now bookmarks are showing fine.  Thanks!
