Also, while in regular browsing , I can't add new bookmarks- this started about the same time.

I had this same problem. If you have the Mcafee SiteAdvisor 3.3 add on disable it. Mine worked fine after that.

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

I tried the suggested solution, and it didn't work. I still can't add new bookmarks, and Firefox crashes when I try private browsing.

I disabled McAfee Site Advisor, and it didn't help.

My apologies! This did work, fixing both the bookmarking and the private browsing problem. When I posted the reply above, I had neglected to log out of Firefox and then back in, which is needed for the disable to take effect.

Thank you!
