Firefox 64.0 has stopped allowing me to delete bookmarks.
I am using Fire ox 64.o on an iMac with OSX Yosemite version 10.10.5 . Last night I was able to delete bookmarks, but this morning I'm not. Can anyone offer some assistance?

[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.
When done, copy and post the results here.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
If "Verify Integrity" button 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.
- keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created

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.

That seems to have fixed the problem. Here's the results from the Integrity Verification as requested above.

Thank you very much for your assistance. It's appreciated.
