It's been a while that I have noticed a weird entry in my (History/Bookmarks). Every time I start typing a URL started with "p" a suggestion will come up as:

parent=menu________&parent=unfiled_____&parent=toolbar_____&querytype=1&sort=12&maxresults=10&excludequeries=1

I can't remove it and I can't find it in my bookmarks... so what is it?

Sounds like a corruption of the places.sqlite database.

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.

See also:

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite then 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

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:preferences page.
