The bloody thing comes up with something called "Live Bookmarks" instead of the regular save menu. How do I get rid of it and back to the normal save bookmarks system?

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


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
