Bookmarking is broken using mouse secondary (right) click (Bookmark This Link) on OS X Yosemite and El Capitan, since atleast version 41. I've tried the latest version 41.0.2 and the problem persists. So when adding a bookmark using the secondary right click, and after selecting Bookmark This Link, the small windows pops up, but I am unable to save the link and the only way to save it is to open up the Bookmark Menu and then hit the save button. Reverting Firefox to 38.0.5 (the oldest version I have) will correct the problem.

Do you get any message or error?

Places Maintenance {web link} Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives Places, the bookmarks and history module behind Firefox.

Open the Add-ons Manager. Locate the add-on and press the Options button. Select All of the tests. Then press Execute on the bottom.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
