Can't Delete Bookmarks
I would like to remove 2 bookmarks from my bookmark toolbar and I haven't been able to do it. I've followed multiple instructions for different ways to do it, and they just don't work. For example, I right click on the bookmark and one of the options I get is "Delete." But when I select Delete, nothing happens. I have also tried this: Click on Bookmarks menu > Click on Show all bookmarks > Click on Bookmarks toolbar > Right click on the bookmark > Click on Delete. Nothing happens. The same thing is true for all my toolbar bookmarks and Bookmarks menu.
I am using Firefox for Mac 85.0.2 on my MacMini running OS 10.13.2
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.
[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.
If any errors are reported, check this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional
The places.sqlite file contains your History and Bookmarks. And it looks like it is corrupted.
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.
Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox. The browser should then create a new place.sqlite and recover your bookmarks from the backup files.
Note: Your history is not backed up and will be lost.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will give it a try!
