Unable to bookmark, and all bookmarks are lost.

I recently started having problems with my bookmarks today. All bookmarks I had are gone, and when I go to restore, I get an error message stating, "Unable to process the bookmark file." I've read everything I can on how to find the files, and those files are not in the places listed. I had version 3.6.3, and tried updating to 3.6.4 to see if that would solve the problem, and it didn't. I've restarted firefox, and I've restarted my computer, and nothing's working. I'm also unable to bookmark any other sites. I have also tried running FireFox in safe mode, and I still have the same problem.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

You might have a locked or damage Places.sqlite (i.e. the file that stores history and bookmarks).

Try taking a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite.
