Hi, I've spent hours and days trying to delete the contents of Firefox's Other Bookmarks folder. I've asked questions and read many replies. I'm only getting suggestions on: how to remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks Toolbar - fairly obvious:) - also that to delete a bookmark just highlight and delete, or CtrlA to select multiple links and delete again fairly obvious. I've also seen long lists of Firefox coding changes I can check and/or apply.

Actually I want Firefox to just work, and NOT save every single website, every single page within a website that I look at, every search I make, and every download I make - as a 'bookmark' If I want to have a folder of unsorted bookmarks I can make one in Bookmarks Menu - in fact I have, it's called Recent tabs for ref, and it contains bookmarks that I'VE chosen to save. I know some people may find Other Bookmarks useful but I want to choose what I bookmark; all the bookmarks I've saved are then saved in named folders.

My problem is this: after using Firefox for years, the other bookmarks folder is now so huge that it's not possible to import all bookmarks into another browser; editing (deleting) the contents of the Other Bookmarks folder is taking ages, I can highlight up to about 500 max links at a time, this takes about 10 mins for the operation to complete and the CPU usage is massive and causing high temperature warnings.

I hadn't realised that webpages were being saved without me choosing to do so - I've always used History for random stuff I may want to look at again. The upshot is that I noticed the other day that Other Bookmarks contained over 18000 links - to practically every site I've ever been to, and transferred from one laptop to another over the years. So fullmarks Firefox for the integrity of the bookmarks database, but please, is there a fix to quickly delete the Other bookmarks folder and its contents, and just stop it from saving stuff I don't want? People seem to have been asking this for years, could we have an answer please? Before my PC burns down? Thank you
