Whenever I try to bookmark a page, it gets listed as the page that I hit "bookmark" on but really links to a random page from my history and won't change.
If I try to change the link manually, it just resets back to whatever page it chose to link to.
Chosen solution
Another possibility is that the Places database, which stores both history and bookmarks, has become corrupted. I have seen the following extension recommended as a way to fix it up, but I'm not sure how it works (or whether it runs on Mac):

i take a guess this may happen because of some malicious piece of software.not a bug of firefox..so i suggest you may backup your firefox data(bookmarks etc..) and clean your system with good anti malware software..if it doesnt solve,then you may have to uninstall firefox->clean system again->remove any search toolbars and stuff like that->do clean install of latest stable version of firefox..
