I have a really long list of bookmarks and probably some doubles too. Whenever I try to go into the bookmark organizer, import and backup and then click on Backup, nothing happens. But Exporting to HTML works and is only my current option to backup.

PS. I know it's filed under 3.6 or earlier and this browser is the beta version. It's because this problem is in both.

If you use the same profile folder with places.sqlite with both versions then you shouldn't do that. It is quite possible that the 4.0 beta versions update places.sqlite and that using that updated file with an older version has corrupted places.sqlite.

You should always use separate profiles when testing other (beta) versions.

You can try a validation check of places.sqlite.

Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the "Tools > Error Console" and click the "Evaluate" button to cleanup and compress the places.sqlite database file.

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/PlacesDBUtils.jsm");PlacesDBUtils.checkAndFixDatabase();

This shouldn't be the case. The problem existed before the beta was given to the public for testing

Edit: Just to be sure I ran your code and it said it's ok and tried to backup again. It didn't work.
