I 've just installed Firefox for the first time (v9.0.1) & can't save any bookmarks. I don't get an error message & it looks like my bookmark saved but when I go in to look at my bookmarks, there are none there.
I'm also having trouble importing my favourites from IE. I've gone through the steps to Import Data for Another Browser and it looks like it has worked but when I go to view my bookmarks it is still empty.

In Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder. This opens the Firefox profile folder. After the folder opens, exit Firefox and rename the places.sqlite file in the folder and start Firefox. Before importing anything, please try to bookmark some sites and check.

i have tried those methods for adding bookmarks & they don't work. i have followed the procedure you mentioned for importing from Internet Explorer & I get as far as step 5, where it tells me the Import is Complete, however, when i go into the bookmarks menu there is no folder named “From Internet Explorer”. I have just tried to import my IE favourites as HTML and that didn’t work either.
