Recently, all the saved keywords I had stopped working. When I look them up in "organize bookmarks", there is no mention of the saved keyword. When I tried to re-create one, I got lots of stack traces, like this one when I try to pick what folder to put the bookmark in (even though all of the options are blank): ASSERT: Invalid menuitem in the folders-menulist Stack Trace: 0:BPP__getFolderIdFromMenuList() 1:BPP_onMenuListFolderSelect() 2:oncommand([object XULCommandEvent]) And this one when I click OK: ASSERT: Invalid menuitem in the folders-menulist Stack Trace: 0:BPP__getFolderIdFromMenuList() 1:BPP__getInsertionPointDetails() 2:BPP__getCreateItemTransaction() 3:BPP_onDialogAccept() 4:anonymous([object Event]) 5:_fireButtonEvent(accept) 6:_doButtonCommand(accept) 7:_handleButtonCommand([object XULCommandEvent]) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pick a site with a keyword you want to set for a search. 2. Try and set it. Actual Results: Stack traces (copied from above): When I tried to re-create one, I got lots of stack traces, like this one when I try to pick what folder to put the bookmark in (even though all of the options are blank): ASSERT: Invalid menuitem in the folders-menulist Stack Trace: 0:BPP__getFolderIdFromMenuList() 1:BPP_onMenuListFolderSelect() 2:oncommand([object XULCommandEvent]) And this one when I click OK: ASSERT: Invalid menuitem in the folders-menulist Stack Trace: 0:BPP__getFolderIdFromMenuList() 1:BPP__getInsertionPointDetails() 2:BPP__getCreateItemTransaction() 3:BPP_onDialogAccept() 4:anonymous([object Event]) 5:_fireButtonEvent(accept) 6:_doButtonCommand(accept) 7:_handleButtonCommand([object XULCommandEvent]) Expected Results: I should be able to set a keyword for a search. Moreover, my old ones should not have been deleted. I also have a windows box running firefox where everything works. I have the same keywords set for the same searches.

i have to point out that you're using a pretty old (ancient) version of Firefox, we have fixed lots of bugs about bookmarking, and this could just be due to an old bug. Also ensure that it is not caused by an add-on, trying in Safe mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) For the most part looks like your bookmarks got corrupted, try creating a new profile and restoring your bookmarks from a bookmarks.html or a JSON backup (you should be able to export them from the Library in the old profile, or looking at the bookmarksBackup folder in profile) See http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Lost+Bookmarks
