Deleting Bookmarks

more options

I have Firefox installed on three Windows Desktop Computers. On one, I just cannot delete Bookmarks, no matter what suggestions I try. Verify Integrity of the database produced no results. I do not, for a variety of reasons, sync bookmarks (or anything else) between the three installations. Experienced user that has spent far too long on what should be a simple issue.

Verify Integrity reported no problems with either places.sqlite or favicons.sqlite?

Can you add a new bookmark, or move a bookmark into a folder, or are those also failing?

I can post new bookmarks and move them, just not delete.

Do you want to check whether an add-on can delete bookmarks successfully? This one creates a sidebar for searching but also has a right-click > Delete option:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-search-plus-2/

If that can't delete either, you might have to rebuild the Places database. Please make a fresh backup of your bookmarks first and check it in a new tab to make sure it looks complete. Unfortunately there is no way to back up history.
