Beginning today my new bookmarks are not being saved. I read several KB articles and have tried: - making sure the bookmarks file is not read-only - reset browser.places in about:config - renamed the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal, and restarted Firefox.

None of that worked. Is there another fix to try?

Bookmarks are not being saved. I still have my existing bookmarks. All existing bookmarks work.

But when I click on "bookmark this page", it never gets added.

There's really nothing to take a screenshot of, other than my old bookmarks.

cor-el,

Yes, thank you. That is one of the steps that I had tried, and it did not work. "renamed the places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal, and restarted Firefox"
