You posted with a Firefox 3.6.12 user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12

Did you reinstall an older Firefox 3.6.x version (3.6.16 is current)?


This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
