how to stop firefox 5 dansk bookmarking every site visited
I installed Firefox for someone in Denmark. A yera later I visited and they have hundreds of bookmarks which I deleted but found that every site I visited was being bookmarked. I removed firefox and then installed firefox 5, but the problem persists. The computer is a Compaq Presario running Vista.

Perhaps you are looking at History and not Bookmarks
If you see them under the Location Bar before you hit Enter then you are looking at AwesomeBar (internal search) those with Stars will be bookmarks, and those with no bookmarking symbol will be history items.
The Library List has History (Ctrl+Shift+H) and Bookmarks(Ctrl+Shift+B) shown from separate category items on the left side.
I found this extension (keyboard shortcut conflicts with add-ons list)
Firefox Auto Bookmark "The extension has been designed to automatically bookmark all open tabs on exit or during a session (either by pressing a button or the shortcut [Ctrl Shift A]) which is very handy for researchers and basically anyone who works with boatloads of tabs that have to be saved as bookmarks at one point." http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/19/firefox-auto-bookmark/
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
