For the last 3 months Firefox has been creating duplicate and new bookmarks based on my browsing history and saving them in the bookmarks menu. At first i thought it had something to do with my sync feature so i turned it off and just use a back file between my computer and my laptop which is a pain cause i have to transfer the file every time i bookmark something new. Turns out its the browser not the sync cause as I'm typing this out i just saw it add a new bookmark of this page that I'm typing on. I have done a fresh install cause i just bought my laptop a month ago and that device is doing the same thing. Need help not sure what to try next.

Firefox would only bookmark a page (link) when you click the star on the location/address bar or use "Bookmark this Page" (Ctrl+D), so you might be accidentally pressing Ctrl+D if you use keyboard shortcuts with a key in the vicinity of the 'D' key.

It was apple extension not updating with firefox. So it was recreating them from the icloud program
