I had to replace a crashed hard drive on my desktop. Firefox was downloaded and installed as the default browser. I've been adding bookmarks but they don't show in the bookmark menu pane like they used to. This feature still works on my laptop, same version Firefox, also Win 7 64.

Hello,

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

Either enter about:support in your address bar, or go to:

  • Help (or New Fx Menu > Help-29) > Troubleshooting Information

Beside Profile Folder, click the "Show Folder" button to access the location of the file. Make sure it isn't set to read only (right click and select Properties).

In Firefox you can also install the Places Maintenance extension to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first as they provide helpful hints and instructions that may be relevant to you:
