Can't add Bookmarks

Post by Col7777 »

I have recently developed an irritating bug, when I click to add a webpage to my bookmarks in Firefox 3 it appears to work, but next time I go in to Firefox the bookmark/s are gone.
I'm using Windows XP home as well if thats any use.
I searched the Net and it appears to be a common problem but I can't seem to find a cure, has anybody else got this and if so how did you fix it please?

I use Firefox 3 and have no problem with this, although it does handle bookmarks differently now.
In v2 it would save it by default to the main bookmarks drop down, now it saves it automatically into the 'Recently Bookmarked' section of the drop down menu.
The idea being that when you bookmarked it you didn't have time to create a folder or decide which one to put it in, so it goes in this area until you move it to its final place by using the 'Organize Bookmarks' option.

Hope this helps.
Steve

Hi Steve,

It dosn't save them there either, I read a bit on the Net and it seems it is becoming a common problem, there was one guy who posted a way to make it work again but I couldn't get my head round it.

I've re-installed Firefox but that didn't cure it, if it is becomong a common problem usually someone comes up with a fix.
