For some time prior to Mar 7 FireFox (27.0.1) had started "not responding" when I clicked on any link on any page. In desperation I uninstalled and re-installed FireFox on Mar 7. The problem came back. The only other thing that I noticed when I looked at my profile folder is that the bookmarsbackup...json file doubled in size the next day (Mar 8)

Hi BillFreund,

I do not know. Do you notice duplicates? This should not happen.

This is a good reference to start troubleshooting if it starts to not respond any longer. Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix

You can try to launch the browser in safe mode by clicking control + shift to see if the file doubles in size again.

Something else that you have installed isn't causing or contributing to that fault. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...[

I hope this helps.

Note that in current Firefox releases you can see the number of bookmarks in a JSON backup as the xxxx part of the name: bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx.json
