I have followed the instructions for deleting a bookmark, but when I click on "delete bookmark", it still remains on my list of bookmarks. I call up the page of bookmark I want to delete. I click on the star icon. In edit this bookmark section, I click on delete this bookmark. The window goes away, but the bookmark remains.

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

See also:

If the Places Maintenance extension can't repair the places.sqlite database then 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 in the bookmarkbackups folder.

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:profiles page.
