Can't delete bookmarks and history
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.
Thanks, this is what I got:

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.
