Hmm, the clipboard-like icon in Firefox 29 should give you a list very similar to the classic Bookmarks menu. (Example attached.) What is yours showing?

The star works similarly to the star in the address bar in Firefox 28: one single click adds the site to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder. A second click or a double-click shows the Edit Bookmarks dialog where you can choose the Bookmarks menu or a different folder. (Screen shot attached.) To do it in one step, it might be easier to press the Ctrl+d keyboard shortcut.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

In the first image it shows my bookmarks. This is open in a previous window that was restored from a previous session. The last 3 images show what my bookmarks looks like now. None if it is there, and I have no clue how to get it back because it just seems to be missing. When I try to restore my bookmarks to a previous version it fails.

Whoa. Bookmarks should not disappear between sessions.

If you restore your previous session do you get your bookmarks back? If so, please back up a few files in your current profile folder. You can open that folder using either:

• "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
• Help menu > Troubleshooting Information

In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. Then when the file list loads, scroll down and copy places.sqlite to a safe place such as your Documents folder. Also back up the bookmarkbackups folder there.

Meanwhile, I would try the Places Maintenance utility cor-el linked to.

Thanks I saved the files and initially tried to restore my bookmarks and it was unable. Had to restart the computer and it worked after that.
