On Win10, Firefox 67.0.2

it appears to me that the delete function of bookmarks doesn't work anymore. No matter whether I use the right mouse click menu or select the menu entry Bookmarks and than delete.

I also noticed that I can't add a new bookmark anymore. Neither through right-click menu (star symbol), nor through the bookmark symbol in the address bar.

Are there any incompatibilities with AVG anti virus software.

( I also got a corrupted 'logins.json' during the latest firefox update, which is fixed by now).

Cheers drobble

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

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

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

In case errors are reported with "Verify Integrity" close and restart Firefox and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.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.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
