The Old Firefox foler has a bookmarkbackups file but they all appear to be very old. I have a json bookmarks file for today but it is empty. Also, if this is a clue, i can't bookmark any new pages.

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

Are you talking about backups in the bookmarkbackups folder in the current Firefox profile folder or do you mean the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop?
