Firefox is creating and loading file 'bookmarkbackups" how to fix
Firefox is importing old bookmarks and loading into my bookmarks list. This started just yesterday. I delete the unwanted bookmarks and restart firefox and the bookmarks load again. I renamed the file "bookmarkbackups" to "bookmarkbackupsold" , started firefox and a new file named "bookmarkbackups" was created and loaded when firefox was started. A lot of these are old bookmarks and no longer needed. Why is this happening and where is firefox getting the old bookmarks. I need to stop this asap
Thanks Dave Lynn

Per chance, are you using Firefox Sync?
