Since I've updated whenever I try to bookmark something it opens the small window and then as soon as I mouse over it to type in a name or just generally move the mouse the box disappear's and bookmarks it, It refuses to let me choose a destination folder or change the name because as soon as I try to do either the box disappears.

apparantly starting firefox in safe mode revolves the issue but im not sure what is casuing it i have disabled all of the addons / extensions manually and it does the same as you said

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
