Sometimes a bookmark folder on my toolbar randomly won't open. I can go to Manage Bookmarks and see the bookmarks there, but the folder on the toolbar won't open when I click on it. I haven't changed anything on the folder. Sometimes deleting a bookmark in the folder and restarting Firefox fixes the folder, sometimes it doesn't.

I haven't noticed any errors.

I'm using Firefox 118.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu.

What version of Ubuntu? Does it still happen if you set the environment variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 on a Wayland session?

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.

This could be a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use the "Places Database" -> "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.
