</p><p>You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> and <b>favicons.sqlite</b> files in the Firefox profile folder.
</p>
<ul><li>use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -&gt; Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
</li></ul>
<p>In case errors are reported with "Verify Integrity" close and restart Firefox and retry.
</p><p>If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all <b>places.sqlite</b> and <b>favicons.sqlite</b> files in the Firefox profile folder.
Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
</p>
<ul><li>keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
</li></ul>

<p>So this problem is on the drop-down, you arrow down to the offending entry, Shift+Delete, it goes away, but on the next round, it's back?
</p><p>I don't know what causes that, but another user reported a similar thing last month with Firefox 68: <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1264909" rel="nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1264909</a> (not really solved)
</p><p>As you recall, before Firefox 68, Windows users could remove an item by pressing Delete, without needing to use Shift. Maybe it would help to roll your Firefox back to that earlier drop-down code? At least for the moment, there's a preference for that:
</p><p>(1) In a new tab, type or paste <strong>about:config</strong> in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
</p><p>(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste <strong>URLB</strong> and pause while the list is filtered
</p><p>(3) Double-click the <strong>browser.urlbar.quantumbar</strong> preference to switch the value from true to false
</p><p>Does that make any difference?
