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.
