I can't delete bookmarks
When I delete bookmarks, they reappear again after a few minutes. Just like that, I delete them and they reappear in the bookmarks bar or in the admin page in a time that ranges from a couple of seconds up to several minutes. When I restart Firefox, they always reappear.
I hace sync activated, but the other devices are offline while I do this.
This has been happening for years. I've checked all the solutions at these forums and in Reddit, but none seem to work. I've deleted places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite multiple times. I've disabled sync in all devices and re-enabled it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
Any suggestions to fix it? This is not a show stopper, but it certainly is annoying to the point of considering moving to Edge, that seems to sync properly.

If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.
[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

The places.sqlite file contains your History and Bookmarks. And it looks like it is corrupted.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.
Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox. The browser should then create a new place.sqlite and recover your bookmarks from the backup files.
Note: Your history is not backed up and will be lost.
I had already tried this solution and I've done it again, step by step.
This doesn't solve my problem. I delete a bunch of bookmarks and after a few seconds they recreate again.
I called for more help.
