Am having problems with bookmarking in Firefox.
My "Edit This Bookmark" box is incomplete.
The area around the star is totally blank.
The words "Edit This Bookmark" are missing.
The "Remove Bookmark" box is blank.
Anyone else experiencing similar problems?
The layout of the box appears to have been changed.

Thanks benmar.
Have Firefox 4 on another machine, but it displays the same problem
so that does not appear to be the solution.
Appreciate your reply, though.

Checked the link.
Didn't really help to solve the problem.
I did see the "Edit This Bookmark" box that I am talking about. near the top of that page.
Problem is that on my box the "Edit This Bookmark" words are missing, and that section is blank.

Yes, you are right.
I have the yellow star alright, but the words
"Edit This Bookmark" are missing.
As well as that the Remove Bookmark box is blank - no words.
The first word to appear on mine is Name.
Then Folder.
Then Tags.
