Every page I have visited shows in my Bookmarks Toolbar, and can't be deleted. Show All Bookmarks shows nothing.

I have set Options -> History to Remember Nothing, yet Firefox remembers everything and displays it in the Bookmarks Toolbar. How do I clear this and stop it from adding new pages?

Chosen solution

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.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.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Hi Panskeptic,

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder :

Either type in the address bar about:support or :

3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Help ( next to the ? ) => Troubleshooting Information' and scroll down to 'Places Database' => 'Verify Integrity'
