When I bookmark I get multiple copies and cannot delete other than one at a time.

i have recently bookmarked several sites. Multiple new folders are created and when I try to select all of them to delete them, I can only select one at a time. I have no ability to delete multiple folders or sites at once.

Are you possibly using Sync to sync bookmarks?

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting and repairing.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

In case 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
