Which one? That's a very strange issue. I don't know any programs that use FFs bookmark.html .

i know this wont work, i've had this problem for a while now, (but it annoys me now.) and trust me, i've restarted my computer many a time since then, and no  difference.

Are you sure to not have any bookmark manager thingy add-ons installed?? Because it's the only thing I can imagine to cause problems :/.

double checked the add-ons, nothing to do with bookmarks is installed.

Firstly, verify that:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Oxy's username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Random alphanumeric>.default\bookmarks.html
exists.

If it does, open it up in your browser. It should simply look like a list of links grouped under heading (these are the menus and links of your current bookmarks).

If the file appears corrupt, move it, and restart firefox. Your bookmarks should now be blank - you can manually recover them from the bookmarks.html file - that's why we didn't delete it.

If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

Um, check to see if Tab Mix Plus is installed. One of the last updates (0.3.5.1; NOT 0.3.5.2) fucked up the bookmarks and other stuff.

Nope, that doesn't work
and i just tried deleting all my bookmarks (didn't need them anyway ) and tried, still nothing

Have you tried doing a full uninstallation clearing all bookmarks/favorites and on the installer chose the option to not import bookmarks
