I had a aproblem with my email (Outlook) a few weeks ago and had to have my system reset (i.e. I took it to a repair centre and it was fixed). I then found that my book marks had gone AWOL, I have reinstated these but now I find that the dropdown bookmarks menu whilst showing the names of sites I would expect to see doesn't take me the relevant site. Whilst the names are what i would expect i notice that the logo at the elft of the name bar is that of the site to which I am taken.

Also, I have lost the star in the web address bar which I would click to bookmark a page/web address.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

You can also try to reset the browser.uiCustomization.state pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

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