    Check out $TMPDIR/content/browser/bookmarks/addBookmark2.xul

    As the error message indicates, the XML file is not properly formatted
    because for some reason it starts with a '*'. The original file is
    located in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/chrome/browser.jar so you can
    extract the file from there (it's a zip archive) and verify the contents
    (should start with "<?xml version="1.0"?>" ...)

    I'm guessing the file isn't getting extracted properly, probably due to
    the device on which $TMPDIR is located being out of space. You could
    also try clearing $TMPDIR and rerunning firefox.
