Can't bookmark 40.0.2
Upgraded to ver 40.0.2 Like a dummy I installed an extension that gave another row of tabs. The bookmarks stopped working so I uninstalled the extension (which I got by searching Mozilla) Downloaded ver 39.0.1 and installed it. Bookmarks worked fine. Reinstalled ver 40.0.2 Bookmarks stopped again.
Question: How do I get ver 40.0.2 working again?
Win XP, 3 GHz, 4GB RAM
Also looking for a GOOD duplicate bookmark remover. I had one on Chrome called Supersorter but Chrome was sooooo slow I gave it up and came back to Firefox.
HELP pse!

Do you have any of these extensions:
- Tab Mix Plus => to resolve bookmark issues caused by TMP, install the development version from this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/versions/
- Tree Style Tab => a fix is in development; see: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1080058
- IE Tab, IE Tab 2, etc. => to resolve bookmark issues caused by IE Tab extensions, disable or remove those extensions using the Add-ons page
Actually, I should have asked you which extension you installed that causes this problem. Maybe I need to add it to my list.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file (bookmarks, history) in the Firefox profile folder.
