Bookmarking websites takes up quite a bit of my day as I do a lot of research for the freelance writing assignments that I take on. So I often find myself bookmarking 30, 40...maybe even 50 sites in one day if they are relevant to what I am working on. So when my Firefox browser refused to let me bookmark anything today (and would crash if I persisted) then I knew I had a big problem on my hands.

It was giving me an error message saying that there was an "app incompatibility" and enquiries on the Mozilla Firefox user forum were no use (it suggested deleting the "localstore.rdf" file in the profile which may be corrupted). So on a whim (and rapidly running out of ideas), I decided to deactivate the "Add Bookmark Here" extension and see what happened. The problem immediately went away and bookmarks started being saved again. So there's your culprit. :-(

First the Skype extension and now this - two of my favourite Firefox extensions down the tubes! What's next? Please Lord, not the Google Toolbar or the "copy plain text" extension! Mercy please!
