I cannot delete the yellow highlight parts on the bookmarks toolbars, even I tried to use click right side mouse " the delete button" and reinstalled the mozilla fox again.

Looks like some Unicode bookmarks that have their titles shown as the combining (western/windows) characters.

If you can't remove them via the right-click context menu and in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) and sidebar then it possible that places.sqlite that stores bookmarks and history is corrupted. Note that removing places.sqlite will remove all history.


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

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

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

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.
