I'm not able to delete some of the folders or some of the bookmarks in my bookmarks!
I've tried to delete/erase with the integrated library, that's the way that doesn't succeed. It's strange, I can rename and replace the folders, but I'm not able to get rid of them. I've even installed Xmarks. When I delete the folder in Xmarks, the folder desappears, but only in Xmarks, even after Sync with Xmarks.
I'm despareted...

Did you try to delete the places.sqlite* files in case there is a problem?
The file should have 2265 bookmarks including folders and separators.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
- Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Your answer: If the Places database damage seems to be limited to bookmarks, for example, if certain bookmarks cannot be deleted, moved, or edited, try creating a new bookmark backup file in Firefox via "Bookmarks -> Show all (or Organize) Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Backup" and then restore the new backup, as an alternative to rebuilding the Places database. The problem is that I can't create a *.json-File as Backup. Firefox doesn't save the file when I "Backup". So I have no file to restore!
Aren't there any backups in the bookmarkbackups folder that have bookmarks in it?
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.json
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

The last file I find in the backup folder is called "bookmarks-2015-05-09_2265_vYhzSS62wiLTzCagH2PUWw==.jsonlz4". It hasn't the ending *.json but *.jsonlz4. I'm not able to restore it. I'm not able to restore any of the backup files and I have tried all of them! :-((
