So glad I finally found this page. I dont know what they are called, but on the Firefox are a row of symbols that when clicked take me to that site. I cant remove One Night Friends. Regardless of how many times I try, with either of two removal options, it comes back, preventing me from replacing it. What can I do?

Do you mean bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar ?

Can you remove the bookmarks via the bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B) on via the Bookmarks Manager (Library) ?

If you still have a problem then check for issues with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history).

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

This could be a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

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

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

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from the most 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 lose the history when a new places.sqlite is created

You may have to restore an older bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder via the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
