Firefox is importing old bookmarks and loading into my bookmarks list. This started just yesterday. I delete the unwanted bookmarks and restart firefox and the bookmarks load again. I renamed the file "bookmarkbackups" to "bookmarkbackupsold" , started firefox and a new file named "bookmarkbackups" was created and loaded when firefox was started. A lot of these are old bookmarks and no longer needed. Why is this happening and where is firefox getting the old bookmarks. I need to stop this asap

Thanks Dave Lynn

Hi, please back up just in case :

1)Copy/Paste about:support to the Address Bar and Enter. 2)Go down to just about the bottom to Places Database 3)Click on Verify Integrity

Per chance, are you using Firefox Sync?
