u cud try saving the bookmarks in an external file before closing...n load it again nxt time..but thats a lotta work...
maybe the folder in which the favourites are stored has been made read-only some how...chk it out...find the folder n c if it is or not...

tried uninstalling n installing??(make sure u delete the firefox folder after uninstalling before installing again)

i think firefox will autoimatically create a new profile whn u start it incase no profile exists..so u dont have to worry bout it...just delete the old profile n start frefox ( do save ur bookmarks this time before doing so)

@ Smile, if you need to use a bookmarking add-on for firefox, then Foxmarks would be better idea than anything else.

I've said this many times on this forum :-D
Chrome is great with the good features of all browsers. The interface is clean and simple, looks great. BUT, no add ons, security holes, bugs, blah blah blah....

bro first u uninstall FF then (show all hidden file and folder) C:\Documents and Settings\NIGHMARE\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla

Delete the mozilla folder.install fresh mozilla and install start Aid add-on then u can save ur bookmarks online.Do this

To manage profiles, run firefox from Run (Win+R) as:
Code: 
firefox.exe -ProfileManager
