FireFox autofilling in address bar

more options

Whenever I type "f" into the address bar in FireFox the following auto populates and suggests:

place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&queryType=1&sort=12&maxResults=10&excludeQueries=1/

There are no folders named "BOOKMARKS_MENU" "UNFILED_BOOKMARKS" or "TOOLBAR" that can be found on the computer. Bookmarks Toolbar and Bookmarks Menu exist under Application Menu>Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks. No "Unfiled" exists in Manage Bookmarks, an "Other Bookmarks" does exist.

If I uncheck the option for FireFox to auto fill suggestions from bookmarks it stops. But, obviously, that is not a good solution.

No other letter generates this suggestion.

Typing "s" auto fills and suggests:

place:sort=8&maxResults=10/

Typing "t" auto fills and suggests:

place:type=6&sort=14&maxResults=10/

No other single letter auto fills and suggests a "place:" formatted suggestion. All others just suggest bookmarks or nothing.

This is really strange issue. These results shouldn't be suggested. Please enter about:support in the URL bar, go to the "Places" database section and press the Verify integrity button. This should provide output log, you can paste it here for analysis.
