Trying to bookmark a page a complete unrelated URL was saved and even trying to change it in "Show all Bookmarks" - "Location" didn't save the changes.
To see if any of my extension are causing it I started Firefox without them, per Firefox Troubleshoot suggestions.
Still wrong bookmarks were saved.
Then I was pretty sure the bookmarks file was corrupted and thought I'll give it a try and delete the "places.sqlite" file.
On openSUSE I just deleted the: my_home/.mozilla/firefox/_my_profile.default/places.sqlite and restarted Firefox.
Sure enough it was the solution to the problem for now.
Firefox also offers a howto to fix it.
