Greetings!

I run Firefox on Windows XP3 Home, and I would appreciate your advice on some problems I have.

When I click on Bookmarks, nothing happens for about 30 secs, then the following message appears; "Script: chrome://browser/content/places/browserPlacesViews.js:229", and I can access my Bookmarks, but only once before the above is repeated. How can I solve this problem?

Also, I had previously imported my bookmarks, but they now show as two separate blocks, each in alphabetical listing. How can I combine them into a single listing?

Finally, I have a listing of ten Most Recently Bookmarked items where the tenth item vanishes when I enter a new bookmark, and none of these new items appears on the permanent list of bookmarks. How can I solve these issues?

Thank you very much for your help! With best wishes Aileks

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

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

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
