Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, Firefox 3.0.1, GMarks 0.9.9
Whenever I submit a bookmark via either (Bookmarks or GMarks) menu, it
shows up on GMarks and not on Bookmarks. I get the following message
and GMarks forgets the bookmark the next time Firefox starts.
There was an error submitting the following bookmark to Google:
[title]
[URL]
On a side note, my Google Toolbar is unable to authenticate me and I
think this all started when I registered my Gmail username with Pidgin
so I could chat. But the behavior is independent of Pidgin being
open.
Can I do anything about this? Thanks!

Try enabling the 'Accept third part cookies' preference in Firefox.

Hmm this is weird but I have the same problem as you describe...no
reaction when I click the bookmars star in FF3.01, nothing happens if
I use the normal FF add to bookmarks option either. After reading this
I tried the cookies thing but discovered I ALREADY had that enabled so
it wasn't anything to do with that.
I finally relented and disabled gmarks in the addons dialogue and
restarted FF.
Bookmarks were now working..all back tro normal.
That was yesterday.
today I was just browsing around there and tried to bookmark a
site..yep, nothing happened.
so I now think this is nothing to do with gmarks and must be either a
bug or another addon.
Of course there is always the possibility that even when gmarks is
disabled it has settings left in the firefox config that is making
this happen...
Curiouser and curiouser...

hitme, have you tried disabling all addons? If that helps,
incrementally re-enable them and see which one is the culprit.
Otherwise, it might be a GMarks configuration (or Firefox) bug.

Hi again.
thanks for the tip mate, I will do that later today..got a busy day so
can't get PC'ing until tonight..hehe
One thing I just noted though that is even more annoying (because it
makes the error totally random or so it seems and that's always a
harder thing to diagnose..groan!) I opened up FF there with about 20
tabs open(as is usual) and I immediately tried bookmarking the page I
had open..it is an asian page but is in English, just mentioning it as
it seems to be one of the few things that differentiates this page
from the other tabs.
anyway I pressed the star and not a thing happened.
Yet, changing to a different tab and trying to bookmark one of those
pages, all fine!
I don't get it.
It seems like its now just some tabs that will not bookmark.
I tried all the possible ways of bookmarking the site in
question...the add to bookmarks context menu, no bookmarks editor
appeared, I tried in the bookmarks menu, the 'bookmark this page'
entry..still nothing happened.
Then I spotted a javascript link on the site, you know the usual
'bookmark this site!' kind of thing. Amazingly, when I clicked that
up popped an add to bookmarks dialogue. It was a slightly smaller
version of the usual bookmarks editor that appears when you click the
star.
so I have concluded that it is certain sites.
I don't know if it also related to maybe the fact that a site has
already been opened in a tab for a while and is somehow stuck in some
sort of error that won't correct itself. New tabs opening seem to all
bookmark fine but I can close and restart FF a hundred times but this
site I am talking of will not bookmatrk.
I sincerely doubt that the actual site is the problem here but, just
in case...anyone want to have a try and let me know...its

OK I have to go for now but thanks again and hopefully I will have
something to report on this later.
Cheers,
