Looks like an issues with Tags.
You would normally select a tag in the left column and then select all items in the list in the right panel and then use Delete in the right-click context menu. When a specific tag is no longer used then it should be removed automatically.
If that isn't the case then maybe check for issues with places.sqlite.
- /questions/1257207 Unused Tags Can't Be Deleted in the Bookmark Library
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
This can be caused by a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite databases in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox and retry.
If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a 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
