When I add a bookmark, I get hundreds of multiple entries for the same bookmark in the recently added bookmark folder and bookmark tab. Fix?

Adding a bookmark results in 100's of entries for that bookmark on the bookmark tab and in the recently added bookmark folder. The only way to remove them is to click and delete each separate entry? Any idea of what's going on or how to fix it? Thanks.

Are you attached to any syncing services?

In the meantime for maintenance try:

Note that it is always best to disconnect from Sync while performing maintenance to the places.sqlite file or otherwise do repairing efforts from within Firefox.
