How can I clean the bookmarks dropdown?

Over time, I gained a lot of undergrowth and shit in the bookmarks dropdown. I've deleted most. But there are still two problems.

(1) < < search | Firefox Help > > lines and there are a lot of them (I don't know why) will not disappear when I right click and click on delete.

2) there are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of blank lines. They are useless and clutter my HTML backup.

How can I get rid of these two irritants?

Thank you.

Budd

One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • How can I display the bookmark shortcut?

    The most recent update has deleted the bookmark button in my toolbar.
    Bookmark star also disappeared to the right next to my homepage of Foxfire.
    When I go in the menu at the far right of the Foxfire homepage bookmark Star opens a bookmarks column that cannot be added to, sorted or edited.
    There is no 'bookmark this Page' in the bookmarks column. There is instead a "change a bookmark this" which is unusable.
    When I try to move a bookmark in the bookmarks column I get only a gray bar mobile but no movement of associated bookmark and I can't delete the bookmark.

    In Firefox current releases the menu entry 'Bookmark this Page' in the bookmarks menu changes to "Edit this bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation bar is highlighted blue.

    So do not get confused by the lack of 'Bookmark this Page' in the menu bookmarks and see "Edit this bookmark" instead if you try to bookmark a page that is already set bookmark.

    Note that you no longer have the bookmarks star in the address bar, but now have a star/record button combined to bookmark the link and open the drop-down list in the bookmarks menu that has "Show all bookmarks" at the bottom of the list

    In current Firefox released (29 and following), which are have a UI Australis, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three button bar of Menu of Firefox at the far right of the Navigation bar and this button is always visible, if you have the bar of menus visible or hidden
    A consequence of this situation, it is that you can no longer hide the Navigation toolbar

    • There is a star as the button next to the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show bookmarks" button next to it to open bookmarks in a menu drop-down.
      You can find "Show all bookmarks" to open the bookmarks (library) at the bottom of the drop-down list manager
    • If bookmark you a page, then 'Bookmark this Page' in the bookmarks menu replaces it with "edit this bookmark".
    • You bring up the title bar via the "Title bar" button at the bottom left in the palette to customize window

    It is still possible to have the bar of menus visible via the menu popup of a toolbar for menus as the file menu to print (Ctrl + P) and preview before printing and the bookmarks menu available.
