Delete the localstore.rdf file in the profile folder.

Do this BEFORE the Bookmark recovery

INSTRUCTIONS: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf

Also firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
   • Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
   • Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
2. At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Okay, so I deleted the localstore.rdf file, And when I click restore I get an error message.

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

I followed the directions up until unchecking the Locked checkbox in the places.sqlite info box because there was nothing to uncheck.. and I'm afriad of deleting any files because I would like to restore my bookmarks, history, and passwords.. I am not having much luck with the methods that have been provided,, sorry. Is there another way then described above?

You can rename or move a file to a different location instead of irreversible delete to be able to undo this step.
