I haven't been able to delete bookmarks or history for the last 6 months, or to export bookmarks - the only workaround is importing them directly to Chrome and exporting them from there into an html file. I have automated updates of Firefox (currently running 63) on a Mac. Refresh, safe mode, etc. doesn't do anything Deleting places.sqlite and bookmark backups in the profile folder solves the problem only for a second. Please fix this,other people are having similar issues.

[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

When done, copy and post the results here.

Do you have any other applications that might be accessing the history/bookmarks or other profile data?

e.g. "Cookie"?

Is your profile stored on the same drive as everything else?

Hi Standard8, I am not aware of any other applications accessing any of the Firefox profile data (I deleted Chrome after using it to import Firefox bookmarks, just to make sure deleted and did a fresh installation of Firefox, and I deleted all the add-ons but I still got the same result when I "verified integrity" again). And yes, the profile is stored on the same drive as everything else.
