I can see and use previously bookmarked pages from the Bookmarks bar. The bookmarks library folder, however is empty. I cannot import or restore bookmarks to it, and it will not save new bookmarks. In fact, the "Add bookmarks" does not list any folders in which to file new bookmarks. I tried trashing Firefox and downloading a new version. Didn't solve it. I searched the troubleshooting resources and the only help I found suggested opening the Profile folder to delete possibly corrupted files such as places.sqlite but can't find any such folder or files on my hard drive. Help! Thank you!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

This was very helpful and it worked really well. I just deleted the places.sqlite file, restarted and all was well, BUT....it took me a lot of time to figure out how to get to my "Profile" folder. For those of you with this same problem this wonderful folder is at username/library/applications support/Firefox/profiles/weirdlynamed folder. Good luck!
