I don't know what iCloud bookmarks is, but I turned on iCloud a little while ago because the new update required more space than I had available, and I tried turning it off, but then all my files disappeared from my desktop, so I turned if back on.

</p><p>Using the iCloud Bookmarks extension has also been reported as a cause for the bookmarks getting corrupted.
We usually advice to disable (uninstall) this extension.
</p>Oh. Also, deleting the files brought the bookmarks back but there are no logos.

This (bookmarks not working) has happened in the past though, although nothing substantiates it, usually just Firefox getting slower and laggy.

It looks that you had a lot of problems with favicons.sqlite in the past, but since your screenshot doesn't show details in list mode like the last used date is not possible to see if the issues are recent or from longer ago.
The numbered files are created when Firefox can't access the main file (favicons.sqlite) and the corrupt file when Firefox detects serious issues and creates a new favicons.sqlite.

</p><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 a 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></ul>
<p>You lose the history when a new places.sqlite is created.

</p><pre>&gt; Task: checkIntegrity

<p>Does yours say that, or something else? You can select and copy the report, and then paste it into a reply for review and comment.

<p>Also, there is a bug in the "Default Bookmark Folder" extension which can apply your default choice during an import/restore. Disable the extension before triggering those bulk operations.
