Clicking the star in the address bar to add bookmarks doesn't do anything in any page from youtube.com It works perfectly everywhere esle. If I'm browsing youtube and click the star to add a bookmark it flashes yellow but stays "empty", nothing else happens.

Also if you have general problems with bookmarks, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Thanks in advance!

There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox:
1. {Ctrl + D}
2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page.
3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page
4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar.
4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.)
5. Left-click and drag the website image (Favicon) in the URL bar (or on the active tab) into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks {Ctrl + B}
or to the Bookmarks menu bar item (the drop-down will open) and then onto the drop-down listing of your bookmarks and folder of bookmarks (folders will open)
or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar - the new bookmark will be saved when you release the left mouse button

See if any of the other ways to save a new bookmark works on those pages.

The problem is solved, thank you very much. None of the methods described here to add a bookmark worked on any page of youtube.com.

I run the Places Maintenance add-on (following these instructions) and all is functioning normally once again.
