Problem opening bookmarks saved on desktop?

We save bookmarks for news stories on our desktop in a news folder. Then when we do the news we open ten bookmarks at a time. However, with the last FF software update we are having difficulty opening these bookmarks.

We get the errors that FF is too busy or you cant open the application "FF" because it is not responding.

At the moment, we are opening two or three bookmarks at a time.

Another symptom would be we open 5 book marks but only 2 or 3 will open in new ff tabs.

Please help!

Thanks!!

Sorry, I can't help you on this, cause I'm on PC. But, why do you make new folders on the desktop, instead of new folders in your bookmarks ? It would be easier to manage the bookmarks then. But maybe I didn't understand what you try to do.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Thanks, Cor-el, I just discovered the addon Places Maintenance. That's a good one.
