Can't create bookmarks. New install, have disabled all extensions, tried safe mode and reset to defaults. No help from any of these actions.
Hello.
Problem statement is very simple: Firefox will not create bookmarks.
New installation with Mint 17. New PC build with Asus A58M-A/USB3 mother board, AMD A4 6300 processor, 4 gig memory stick.
All of the Mint and Firefox packages are up to date.
A new profile was created for testing, Firefox has been started in safe mode, purged and re-installed and reset to defaults. None of these actions have helped.
Here is the info from the Troubleshooting Information within Firefox

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