Self Replicating bookmarks.
A bookmark was clearly corrupt and created hundreds of copies of itself. All have the exact same time stamp. If I so much as touch the affected bookmark folder, Firefox becomes 'unresponsive' and never recovers. I have to close it. I have successfully moved all good bookmarks in that folder to a new folder, leaving the bad bookmarks behind. I can not delete the folder they are in and can not delete them individually as clicking on one of them causes the 'unresponsive' problem. Can't find bookmark files on my hard-drive other than backups that I can't open.
So. How do I get rid of this buggy bunch of stuff? I'm using windows 8.1.

hello, could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
