I followed your directions on how to delete a single bookmark and it's still there. Suggestions please.

The bookmarks I am trying to delete are not removed by following your directions - opening the bookmarked page clicking the star and "Remove" clicked...now what?

hello, you can also try to delete it from within the bookmarks library - go to firefox > bookmarks (or press ctrl+shift+b), find the entry you want to delete and right-click & remove it...

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file, so if the above posted suggestion didn't help then you can check this out.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
