Firefox randomly creates bookmarks in my toolbar that I can't permanently delete

Firefox will repeatedly create bookmarks that are duplicates of existing bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar. Many but not all have the name "NO_TITLE". I can temporarily delete these bookmarks but they are automatically regenerate less than a minute later. This doesn't occur with bookmarks located in other folders. If I have the bookmarks navigation pane open on the left, I can watch a weird refresh going on every few minutes. I quit using Firefox a year ago because of this, but I'm trying it again.

Hi Mike, that shouldn't happen.

Do you use Sync? There's always a possibility of extra glitches with sync'd bookmarks.

Could you make an extra backup of your bookmarks -- I suggest both formats:

Then try the "Verify Integrity" function. That's here:

Open Firefox's Troubleshooting Information page using any of these methods:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

Near the bottom, there is a section titled Places Database -- that's the file which stores history and bookmarks. Click the button labeled Verify Integrity. There may be a 10-15 second delay before results appear.

The usually starts with: 

> Task: checkIntegrity
+ The places.sqlite database is sane
+ The favicons.sqlite database is sane

Are there any indications of trouble? You can select and copy the report, and then paste it into a reply for review and comment.
