For some time it has been a frequent problem with firefox not showing my bookmarks but today it has not even allowed me to restore them, when will this be fixed, I prefer not to use other browsers myself. The restore window is dead it seems.

royspost, There could be corruption in the bookmarks system. It might be worth checking the integrity of your Places Database files, which are where Firefox stores bookmarks and their icons. To do this:

  1. Go to Help menu (press alt+H).
  2. Select "More Troubleshooting Information".
  3. On the page that opens, scroll down to "Places Database" and press the "Verify Integrity" button.
  4. Once the check has finished, Look for any lines in the report that startt with a "-" or that contain the term "error".

If any errors are reported, try restarting Firefox and re-running the integrity check to see if they were fixed by the first check. You may want to repeat this 'restart and re-check' process again if errors are still found.
