Perhaps your preferences.js is corrupted?
Try grepping ~/.netscape/preferences.js for
browser.bookmark_file
Mine has a line like:
user_pref("browser.bookmark_file", "/home/bkogawa/.netscape/bookmarks.html");
Perhaps Netscape has forgotten where the bookmarks file is kept, or can't
read/write the listed filename.
