Can't remove all bookmarks so as to import new ones from other pc
I imported my bookmarks to my netbook from my other pc so that it had the same ones. Unfortunately it has added them to the original ones, and as it didn't seem to have worked, I re did it several times. I now have a very long list of repeated bookmarks!!
How can I remove all and re import?
Thanks

Hello,
Importing bookmarks from HTML I believe appends bookmarks. A faster way would be to set up Firefox sync:
If you want to remove quickly remove all of your bookmarks, you can go to the Library in Firefox:
- Bookmarks
> Show All Bookmarks
- Double click to open one of the submenus (such as Bookmarks Toolbar), press Ctrl+A and Delete
- Press Back (top left of that window) and repeat for the other submenus
- For other methods: How do I delete a bookmark?
- Import Bookmarks from an HTML file

You can delete the places.sqlite file and all the backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and place the HTML backup as bookmarks.html in the profile folder. That will make Firefox build the bookmarks using the bookmarks.html file.
Thanks for the help, I have now removed all unwanted bookmarks
