State-Changed-Why: 
First, have you tried the suggestions in /usr/ports/UPDATING pertaining to
the Firefox 1.0.p update?  If so, there have been bugs reported to Firefox's
Bugzilla that indicate this could be a permissions issue.  As root, try

# chown -R bms ~/.mozilla/firefox

I'm guessing your user is bms.  If that doesn't work, checkout the list of
bugs pertaining to saving bookmarks in Firefox's Bugzilla.  I have a feeling
you're not alone in this, but thus far, I have not been able to reproduce.

Oh, and of course, make sure you're running Firefox 1.0.1.p_4.
