Hello there,

I have a new computer and I signed in using my Firefox account in order to import my bookmarks. They did not all show up so I added bookmarks as I went along. The problem is that my bookmarks name are correct but when I click on them, it takes me to a different website, and not necessarily one I have saved. Under ma bank's bookmark for example, when I click on it, it takes me to a Government page that I visited a few days ago (but did not save as a bookmark). I have already reset the names for all by bookmarks, but this problem keeps occurring. If anyone could help me sort this out, I would be grateful. Thanks and regards K

If you use Sync, 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).
