Bookmarked sites not indicated as bookmarked by the bookmark star
Firefox 28.0 - openSUSE 13.1 When I open some of my bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar the star does not turn yellow. That to me indicates that Firefox doesn't consider them as bookmarked. Any theories as to why that occurs? Any Windows or Mac users noticing this bug? Some sites have changed URLs but some have not. Same problem in safe mode, ESR, Beta and Nightly. -- Sponsored by Firefox 29.0

I see that from time to time, though I haven't in quite a while. I can never reproduce it in safe mode, so my guess is that it's some extension or combination of extensions. I've never tried to figure out which.

I've seen this occur when a bookmarked url is getting (automagically) redirected to a new url, such that the new url is not actually bookmarked. I don't know if that's your issue or not, but perhaps you might want to carefully compare the urls.

It seems some bookmarks are http://www.<site> and the URL bar shows <site>. When I remove the http://www using properties, the star changes color. Some have changed completely and been redirected. Sort of makes the bookmark star unnecessary, but some users activate it to bookmark a site or page. -- Sponsored by Firefox 29.0 Looks like Chrome or so I hear Definitely more customizable than Chrome

Bookmarks? Who Needs Bookmarks?
I do not like the Moz 1.6 BM mgr, so I decided to export my BM to NS 7.0 (see below--4.75 realization) to manipulate the BM in the old mgr. I created a file called bookmarks_moz_out.html, 630K. I imported it into 7.0 and found that about 2-300 BM were missing from the end. I also realized the BM mgr for 7.0 is not what I wanted. I think 4.75 or so was. 7.0 seems to be the same az Moz 1.6. I searched for bookmark* files and found what now appears to be the Moz 1.6 file. It too was truncated in # of entries. However, it's size was something like 1.3M. This suggests maybe it does ...
