Cannot delete old bookmarks in browser on Mac

I have searched and tried everything, but I cannot delete old bookmarks. I have tried to click on the blue bookmark star, delete from the edit tab, open all Bookmarks and try to right click and delete. Nothing happens, but I can add new bookmarks. The bookmarks window does not have an organize tab to manage the links that way either. Is there a glitch in the system for macbooks?

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.

This can be caused by a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite databases in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed. 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

Hi there, Are you tyring to delete list of bookmarks that is already saved. In mac use this shortcut(Shift+Command+B) at the same time and it will load up the all bookmarks window

Once that is open. There is a gear icon that you can find and click on the specific folder bookmarks and you can delete those in bulk. I suppose this is the one that you are looking for?

Unfortunately, I see the gear and hit delete, but literally nothing happens. It is like I didn't click anything.

Thanks! I am going to try this and see if it works.
