When I click the star it turns blue and moves over the next icon. When I open that icon and click on unsorted bookmarks, it is not there. I have not been able to save bookmarks and place in the appropriate folder for a long time. Help!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

If the Places Maintenance extension can't repair the places.sqlite database then remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created

I did a refresh and started without add-ons. Now I see my recent bookmarks and was able to file them. Now I need to find which add-on was the culprit. Thank you.

If you have the add-on IE Tab disable it
