Create a new bookmarks file
Bookmarks and browsing history are stored in the Firefox profile folder in the file places.sqlite. If there is a problem with this file, your bookmark changes may be lost whenever you restart Firefox. You can force Firefox to create another places.sqlite file by deleting (or renaming) the existing one.
You might want to print these directions out, or copy them down to reference because you will have to close Firefox to delete or rename the files.
Open your profile folder:
- Click the menu button , click and select .From the menu, select . The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
- Under the Application Basics section next to Profile FolderProfile Directory, click . A window will open that contains your profile folder.Your profile folder will open.Your profile directory will open.

- Close Firefox completely: Click the Firefox menu and select .Click the Firefox menu at the top of the screen and select .Click the Firefox menu and select .
- In your profile folder, find the files places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal (if it exists) and delete them (or rename for example, to places.sqliteOLD, to keep the old file as a backup) .
- (Optional) Also delete the file xulstore.json. This will reset any toolbar customizations you have made.
When you next start Firefox, it will create a new places.sqlite file and automatically import the most recent bookmark backup file. Your bookmarks will be restored from backup but you will lose your browsing history. Note that browsing history is used for the address bar autocomplete feature.
