    Firefox problem after using bookmarks restore
    « on: October 13, 2011, 02:55:41 AM »
    Hey,

    So I imported some bookmarks from my Laptop running Ubuntu OS (an html file).  After doing this, everything was still working fine at this point.  Later I decided I didn't need the bookmarks from Ubuntu, so I restored the bookmarks using a backup 'json' file I made on my XP prior to doing this.  After the restore, I ran into a problem.  When I go to "show all bookmarks", nothing is there.  Also, when I click on the star in the omnibar to bookmark a page, it just flashes yellow but does not stay yellow, and does not bookmark the page.  Also, my 'json' files seem to have disappeared!

    A few quick notes:

    I haven't lost my bookmarks
    I am running firefox 7.01
    No changes after disabling addons
    I have CCleaner which I run often
    Using different/older restore points does not fix anything
