I replied to your second post here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980733
OOPs -Jeff beat me and the thread is is already locked.
This sounds rather odd. I do now of another thread where someone reports additional bookmarks mysteriously appearing.
I can understand some apparent problems; and possible causes, if any of this happens
- You are using Firefox Sync (That may create bookmarks)
- You try to delete Folders and the change does not take effect. (The database is locked or faulty)
- Or the change does not survive a restart of the Computer (Sometimes software creates the prior state)
- Any more details on exactly what happens ?
and whether any of the above seem to describe your problem ? - When does this occur exactly ?
e.g.on Firefox Shutdown or Computer restarting for instance. - Do all your folders and contents get duplicated ?
and does it occur every time Firefox is closed down (Or whatever the significant event.)
Two initial suggestions
- Check and attempt to repair the database using places maintenance
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Also run the option from that add-on that produces a short report log, and paste it into your next reply. In fact please paste a log after the initial state,then after another couple of doublings; without you intervening to delete anything, - Try Firefox in Safemode
