Hi there,

my booksmarks in the bookmark menu and symbollist do mutiply to an insane degree. It does not impact the additional bookmarks. I have tried to reset firefox and diabled all add-ons. No effect.

Did anyone had this problembefore and if so how did you fix it? Many thanks!

Are you possibly using Sync to sync the bookmarks ?

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.

This can be caused by a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite databases in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.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
