You can check the read/write permissions of all files (especially places.sqlite) in the profile folder and make sure that you are the owner.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
- Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
