Months ago, when I clicked on Views > Sort by Name, ALL my bookmarks were duplicated. It happened again months later. Now I have a bookmarks list that is "miles" long! I can't find a folder on my computer that I can open and have two windows open, so I can copy and paste bookmarks, and get rid of the duplicates and triplicates. How can I get these bookmarks under control?

I am on a Windows 10 laptop that is just a couple months old, and it was on this computer that the duplicating happened the second time. But this started happening on my old Windows 7 laptop. (fyi, I have computers with 7, 8.1, and 10) I do keep upgraded to the newest versions of Firefox.

Thank you.

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).
