My search history is not saving, Places Database integrity check returns error message - how can I solve this?

more options

Hello community,

I tried everything in my power to resolve this issue, including deleting my profile, refreshing, etc. My search history is no longer saving (it was wiped clean, only then did I reset my entire account), and Firefox loads pages very sluggishly. Integrity checks of the Places Databases return an error message referring to 'another task' (image attached).

I have two disabled extensions, which I am apparently unable to remove, even if I wipe my profile - those would be the only culprits I can think of (the extensions are: Adobe Acrobat Create PDF and DivX Plus Web Player HTML 5 - neither of which I have any clue how to remove).

I'm not a programming expert and mystified as to what to do now - any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to continue using firefox, but the way it hangs at the moment it's way too frustrating!

Thank you in advance for your time, very much appreciated!

Try using the Places Maintenance extension, rather that the built-in "Integrity Check". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

I would trust that extension before the built-in feature, which seems to "run the check too quickly", IMO.
