Help with Firefox bookmarks.

Post by velvta »

So iw ent through the hassle of organizing my bookmarks in Firefox, now im facing an issue where the library view where I organized evrythign doesnt match the view I get when i click the "display your bookmarks" icon. I backed up as html from the library then imported thinking it would fix it, however now everything in the display bookmarks is DOUBLED for some stupid reason. Anyone have any ideas?

did you restore the bookmarks from a backup file ?


because that will do that when you restore,it will cause a double entry


if that's the case,then just delete one of the bookmark folders

I don't know,I manually backup the bookmarks to a backup drive,and if I need to restore them for whatever reason,it will create a duplicate folder in the browser.

Library view?

Bookmarks are stored in the places.sqlite file.
