I went through my bookmarks, and deleted all the unnecessary ones. I have just 7 remaining. However, every time I open Firefox again, all of the bookmarks are back! Last night, I signed every device out of Firefox except 1. I deleted all bookmarks but the 7 I want. Closed Firefox after syncing. Re-opened - all is well. This morning, I opened Firefox on my iPad, and signed in. ALL the desktop bookmarks are back. Same on the laptop! AAARRRGH!!!

What do I do now!??

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

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
    in case errors are reported close and restart Firefox and retry

See also:

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.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.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
