why don't my bookmarks work? (they have something that looks like a globe on the left)
After the latest software upgrade my bookmarks stopped working when clicked upon. All of them now have something similar to a globe on the left of each bookmark. last night I re-loaded some of my bookmarks and the worked as long as I remained on Firefox. Returning this morning, they all have these globes on the left, and no longer work when clicked upon.

raymond.steele, it might be worth checking the integrity of your Places Database files, which are where Firefox stores bookmarks and their icons. To do this:
- Go to Help menu (press alt+H).
- Select "More Troubleshooting Information".
- On the page that opens, scroll down to "Places Database" and press the "Verify Integrity" button.
- Once the check has finished, Look for any lines in the report that startt with a "-" or that contain the term "error".
If any errors are reported, try restarting Firefox and re-running the integrity check to see if they were fixed by the first check. You may want to repeat this 'restart and re-check' process again if errors are still found.
