I can't add new sites to IE8 Favorites Bar anymore. I can remove already existing sites from the Favorites bar without any problems. It was working before but I can't quite pinpoint the moment when it stopped working.
The current situation is this:
- When I click the "Star with the green arrow" (aka Add to favorites bar) button then nothing at all happens – no new bookmark, no errors.
- When I open the "Favorites" menu, click "Add to favorites", select
Create in: Favorites Bar
and click Add then I get this error:
Unable to create 'example.com':
Unspecified error
How could I fix this?
I also tried with Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)
– the same problem.

A workaround would be to drag a shortcut from the URL bar to the Favorites bar. (this is how I have always done it, just too easy)
You could also try an IE8 reset. Read carefully before doing it, you can lose some IE data in the process.

If i was the conspiracy theory type, I would say MS did it on purpose when trying to link to Google. ;-)
