Try opening your bookmarks in the side bar and ensure the main bookmarks folder is situated at the top of the tree. If it isn't, you can drag and drop it at the top.

That has been done and yet bookmarks are still not saving correctly.

No, I was just simply hoping that I wouldn't have to do that so I could keep my add-ons and bookmarks.

You won't loose any of your settings, or bookmarks.
Those are stored in a different folder, that is not removed with a simple uninstall. Delete Firefox using Add or Remove Programs. Go to C: / Program Files, and delete the Mozilla Firefox folder. Download a fresh copy of Firefox. Now, reinstall Firefox. If that doesn't work, the only other thing I can think of, would be a complete uninstall/reinstall. -------------------- I love being married.

I completely un-installed Firefox and then got on Internet Explorer and reinstalled it. I still have the bookmark saving problem. I can only save a bookmark if I retype or type something different in the box for the name.

Have you tried using Firefox in Safe Mode?
Its startup mode where all the extensions you have installed are disabled and the default theme is used. --------------------  Join Bleeping Computers Folding@home Team and Help find a cure. I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. ~Woody Allen |

Hi Nekoyasha,
this problem is usually caused by a corrupt localstore.rdf file in your profile (i've had it a few times myself). Close Firefox and navigate to your profile description (usually in <C:/Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profilename]>). Delete the "localstore.rdf" file then restart Firefox, it will then generate a fresh "localstore.rdf" file from the copy held within the program files, and you should be back in business.
