How do I stop Firefox from auto adding websites to Bookmarks even if that page isn't open?

I have 6 websites that automatically add the sites to my bookmarks, even when I am not on the site. I went there once and somehow they are populating my bookmarks with 100s of each site. Also, my folders are being duplicated. The attached image shows a sample of my bookmarks. When I set my mouse on the down arrow to scroll to the end, it takes 115 seconds to roll to the end at about 3 seconds per 40-line page scrolled. Current rough estimate is over 1600 bookmark/folder items. I went thru the editing 2 weeks ago, removing all unwanted bookmarks & folders.

Suggestion: I'd love to be able to add bookmarks separately to a "Bookmarks Page", aside from the menu, toolbar, and other bookmarks (July 19th, 2019)

This would make a great official Firefox Add-on that I'd install on day one and link to my Firefox Sync account just like I did with Mozilla Support right before I posted this suggestion. It's easy to lose track of all the important bookmarks in the three places I can have all my bookmarks in Firefox now: the toolbar, menu and other bookmarks. I'd add sites like routeoneapparel.com and ourstatestore.com to it since I love giving gifts to my friends and family for no special ocassion as often as I can, to let them know they're very often on my mind!

I have two computers using FF and the bookmarks synch between them. I have added a third new computer and the bookmarks synch from the new one to the old ones, but not vice versa. ie anything I create the new computer synchs to the old computers , but bookmarks from the old computers do not synch to the new computer.
This is very frustrating and I'm thinking of going back to chrome because if this issue. I've been trying to fix it for days.

I switched to Firefox a couple of years ago when Quantum came out. I'm satisfied with it but the main reason I keep using it is grounded on ethics rather than usability (which is fine for me but won't win the stone hearts of more cynical users :-) ). I had this sort of superficial opinion: "Chrome is better, but I don't want to use it." Today I wanted to give Chromium another try. I thought about what it is that makes it better and figured out it almost completely boils down to the star icon functionality: I'm a heavy bookmarks user and Firefox makes me slow, compared to Chrome.
First, it doesn't use the latest location in which I saved a bookmark as a default (this was also requested, not by me, on http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&p=14770920). I often add a row of pages to a single bookmarks folder, but rather than selecting the tabs and adding all of them at once by dragging and dropping as Firefox allows, I prefer to check them on by one: add one, close it, take a look at the one that follows, either close it right away or add it, and so on. In Chrome it's done with a couple of shortcuts in quick succession, in Firefox its much clunkier because one needs to set the directory every time.
Then a really annoying and sort of antiquated-feeling characteristic of Firefox's star icon menu and bookmarks sidebar is that type-ahead motion in it (when I type the first letters of the name I want to move to) breaks on spaces. This kind of motion is the only one that is practical once one has a few hundred directories, but if I have a list of directories like ... "The Rolling Stones", "The Who"... I can only match up to "The" then I'm on my own.
These flaws slow down the menial job of adding bookmarks a lot. Other things that could bring an improvement in my opinion would be an "Open in folder" context menu item for bookmarks search results, and the possibility to restrict searches to defined folders. I think what I've described should be done natively and not by extensions.
Keep up the good work and thanks for what you do.
