</p><p>This could be a problem with the <b>places.sqlite</b> and <b>favicons.sqlite</b> files in the Firefox profile folder.
</p>
<ul><li>use the "Places Database" -&gt; "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -&gt; More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
</li></ul>
<p>If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.
</p><p>If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all <b>places.sqlite</b> and <b>favicons.sqlite</b> 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.
</p>
<ul><li>keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
</li><li>you lose the history when a new places.sqlite is created
</li></ul>
<p>You may have to restore an older bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder via the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
