New look, missing short cuts

Patrick Crain

opened firefox this morning like always and my short cuts are gone, even though settings shows the box checked. Where are the shortcuts that I had?

Similar here. My pc crashed, on startup firefox told me history and bookmarks are in use by another application, so I restarted pc. That fixed it, but all my shortcuts are now gone and while I have the button to add new ones, adding a new shortcut does nothing.

If you can't add any new ones, it means the computer is still locking the files:( Fix "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message

I would try rebooting the whole machine once more, to see if the locks get released…

The link solved the issue for me. I had assumed that since the error message for that had disappeared, and I had access to my bookmarks and history again, it was done with. But no, it was the places.sqlite file that was giving me problems.
