Bookmarks missing
Greetings. Have Windows 11 Home . I have noticed in the last month that when I click on the star that Firefox is not saving my bookmarks. I have searched online for resolution to this problem to no avail. I am up to date on my version of Firefox . Could someone please provide the steps necessary to get this feature back. I have used Firefox as my primary browser for decades and the bookmark feature has always worked fine . Thank you in advance for your assistance .

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
- use the "Places Database" -> "Verify Integrity" button in "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support)
If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer and retry.

Thank you for your response. After following your instructions this is what I received: > Task: checkIntegrity - Unable to check places.sqlite integrity: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: > Task: checkCoherence - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: expire - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: vacuum - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: stats - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: _refreshUI - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task.
This is what I received after following your instructions . What is my next step? Thanks
Those errors are an indication that something is wrong with the two files I mentioned in my reply. If Firefox didn't didn't recover after a reboot then you need to rename or move places.sqlite to force Firefox to create a new database.
Did you look at the two articles I linked above as those provide steps to recover from a corrupted places database?
Greetings Cor-el . I apologize for not getting back to you sooner due to some health issues. I followed your advice and used the link you provided . I renamed the places.sqlite by adding an OLD on the end and restarted Firefox . Bingo , I'm back in business . I did notice I had 2 other places.sqlite , one had -shm on the end and the other had -wac . Not sure what that's about but will leave well enough alone . Thank you for your help .
