"All Bookmarks" is duplicated in one of the bookmark folders. Expanding the duplicate "All Bookmarks" in the sub folder recreates another entire list of bookmarks. And on and on and on. Deleting an individual bookmark from the duplicate also deletes the same bookmark from the original. I do not synch bookmarks with another device. How do I remove the duplicate "All Bookmarks" folder?

Are you using Sync to sync the bookmarks?

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync while performing maintenance/repair efforts to files in the Firefox profile folder.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
