Bookmarks in Firefox 0.9.2

When using firefox I am not able to bookmark a site. The bookmark box comes up but it is like it hangs up, will not mark, will not cancel, will not close. I actually have to use the windows task manager to shut it down. Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA

 

Welcome to the Forum, piratelady!

Hi piratelady,

Are you using a Theme other than the default? If so, revert back to the default Theme.

If still no joy:

Check to ensure that in the bookmarks.html file properties, file attributes have not been changed to "Read Only ":
(Right click the file and select "Properties ")

If you have a "good" backup of the bookmarks.html file, then rename the existing file to Xbookmarks.html. Replace it with the backup of the "good" bookmarks.html file.

If still no joy:

Close Firefox:
Navigate to the default.xxx folder

See Profiles Folder Location: http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/ns7profloc.html

Rename the bookmarks.html file to Xbookmarks.html
Open Firefox

A pristine copy of bookmarks.html will be created
To ensure that the new file is working, add a bookmark
If this works, then open the Bookmark Manager
Click on Tools | Import
Import the Xbookmarks.html file
Your bookmarks should be restored
