I have confirmed the URL in the Properties of the bookmarked page is correct, but when I select it a different page is displayed. I tried with several bookmarked pages and some are redirected to that same page. Not all bookmarks get redirected. If I go to the desired site and bookmark it and then select it, the correct page is displayed. Have my Bookmarks been hacked?

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
