A url bar suggestion won't go away even after deleting...

Even after deleting all history, I'm still getting an auto suggestion

http://parent=menu_____&parent=unfiled&parent=toolbar___&querytype=1&sort=12&maxresults=10&excludequeries=1/

whenever I type in "p" into the url bar. I have no idea why this is happening. I'd like for the auto completes for other sites I visit to stay, so setting autofill to false is not an option (although that fixes the issue).

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

In case errors are reported with "Verify Integrity" close and restart Firefox and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
