I had this exact problem. I found that changes to the bookmarks did not hold over to the next session. Weirdly enough, they would hold over if I did a bookmark backup, though (without having to import that backup).
In any case, I got tired of backing up my bookmarks any time I wanted to change them, and I couldn't find a solution posted, so here's my solution, which seems to have worked: 1) Save your bookmarks and anything you wouldn't want to lose then close firefox 2) Delete the directory .mozilla/firefox from your home directory 3) Restart firefox This will delete all of your settings and bookmarks, but for me at least it also fixed the problem. -- Bookmarks not saved when exiting firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250863 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
