Basically that's about it. It just crashes everytime I right click (ie. Not responding).

The bookmarks + history data are stored in the places.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. It may be corrupted. You can try deleting it after exiting Firefox. There is also a separate dated backup of the bookmarks in the bookmarks folder and you can restore the latest backup via Bookmarks (Alt + B) > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore after restarting Firefox. Alternatively from here you can also Export Bookmarks to HTML before deleting the places.sqlite file and later Import Bookmarks from HTML.

Hi, it persists in safe mode as well. While there is no bookmark toolbar, it still crashes when i right click a bookmark.
