Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?


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.


[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.

Hi Ralph, two other questions were posted shortly after yours about a Bing takeover and in at least one of the two cases, bookmark problems (1314107, 1314105). Neither of those threads is solved yet, but it seems that something is going around.
