Firefox bookmarks everything to a facebook profile.
I have searched for this topic and seen it a couple times, but no clear way to resolve it. I have 2 mac computers doing this. Whenever I bookmark a page, if I immediately look at the bookmark, the information is correct. But if I click on my bookmark, it will take me to the profile page of one of my facebook friends and then that will be the information found in the bookmark. I have seen something about "resetting" firefox to fix it, but I'm not exactly sure what they mean by resetting firefox.

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

Reset is done from Troubleshooting Information, launched from the Help menu.

Ok tried the reset. That didn't fix it. Deleting the places.sqlite file fixed it. Thank you!
