For some reason every time I try I get a black circle with a diagonal line symbol, indicating I cant do it, ive already tried in Troubleshoot aka Safe Mode, its the same! Ive even deleted xulstore.json, still the same, I have no idea whats causing it.

How are you trying to add a bookmark?

Do you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" control placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar ?

Make sure toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible. Open the Customize page and set what toolbars (Show/Hide Toolbars) and toolbar items to display.

  • Right-click empty toolbar area => Customize
  • "3-bar" menu button => Customize
  • View -> Toolbars
    *you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar temporarily
  • check that "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar, drag it back from the Customize palette to the Customize page to the Bookmarks Toolbar
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette, drag them back from the Customize page to the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette, click Restore Defaults in the Customize palette window to restore the default toolbar set.
