Firefox is importing Bookmarks from somewhere and I can't stop it. Up to 17,000 items! Help
I'm trying to use Firefox as my default browser, but it keeps importing bookmarks. They look like duplicates but there is no way to stop. Should I delete and reinstall? I don't need to import bookmarks

When do these bookmarks show up? When you start Firefox? During the day?
Are you using sync? 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.
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). Is the problem still there?
