Firefox 13.0 - saving incorrect bookmarks

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.
