I was cleaning up old bookmarks (working fine) and then all of a sudden, it stopped removing them... what happened?
I was cleaning up ~5 years worth of old bookmarks. I was in the bookmark window and it they were deleting fine for a while, then they stopped deleting. I tried deleting them in the bookmarks window with organize->delete, right-mouse delete, and the keyboard delete key. I then tried using the bookmark "star" in the browser with no luck. I exited firefox... no luck. I rebooted my computer and that also didn't help. My browser was just updated last night which may, or may not, be related (52.7.0esr). Thanks!

I've done the install, found it in add-ons manager, did the "options" and "next". That has been running for about 4 hours with no sign of progress in the window. Any idea of how long it may take and should I be seeing something happening in that window? It's said "Checking integrity..." since it started.
Also, is the next section (about:support in browser) a different way to get to the same check?
Thanks!
The check should only take a few minutes. Did the addon show a progress report? Can you copy it to here?
After waiting another couple of hours, I cancelled the check and restarted it. It ran really fast the second time and reported corrupted files, As recommended, I restarted firefox. That took a while, but it appears that I have control of my bookmarks again. THANKS!!
That was very good work. Well done.
