Upgraded from v4 beta to v4. Lost bookmarks and the forward/back buttons don't work. I tried the help solutions but nothing seems to work, including via bookmark backup, even system restore didn't help! The places.sqlite file is there and the renaming etc solution didn't work. Similarly the toolbar resets don't work either, even in safe mode.

In short can I get my bookmarks out and into another browser.

I've always been a firefox fan but never had so many problems.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
