If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.

Places Maintenance [v57+] Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.
Did that ... and it appears to have verified integrity. Still unable to delete bookmarks.
Are you using any sync?
Yes ... if you mean Firefox sync yes.
Its possible sync is causing the issue. Disable sync. Is the problem still there?
That was the answer ...
Thank you

I have the same problem: I can manage bookmarks but I can't delete any of them... I don't sync bookmarks and just Refreshed my Firefox because I had problems with disappearing passwords.

R3TZ3V Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Then try Places Maintenance again.
Is the problem still there? If so,
