I had the exact same problem. I fixed it my going into my /<user>/.mozilla/firefox/<funnyname>.default directory and pasting in my bookmarks. After I did that, no more problems.
Since that first time, I've had occasion to do a reinstall. I backed up that entire directory first, then pasted back in when I was back up and running. No problems.
