Tried this and it didn't work.

What did you try?

Is that the only folder that gives problems?

Are you using Sync?


Try to remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most recent JSON backup (bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash value>.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync (temporarily) while performing maintenance/repair efforts to the places.sqlite database.
