pinning a web site in Top Sites is not working

more options

I recently screwed up and lost all my bookmarks and pinned top sites and history. Before I had it set up that I had a number on web sites pinned in Top Sites so they stayed in place even if I cleared my history but now the pin site option is no longer working. Before there was a pin icon on the picture but nothing shows up and even if I go to bookmarks or history and tellit to pin it from there nothing happens.

It's ok. I fixed the problem by uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling. I had lost everything beforehand so whatever. Pinning is working now.
