Strange FireFox Bookmark Snafu

by Scot Standke
7 replies
Hey Gang,

Does anyone have a problem with deleted bookmarks coming back in FireFox after restarting the program?

I deleted a bunch of outdated bookmarks this morning, restarted FireFox and they are back, LOL

Tried it several times this morning and each time I restart it, they come back.

Has anyone else experienced this, any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hi Scot,

    I started using a new FF plugin called xMarks which works with FF to manage and synchronize bookmarks.

    I wonder if installing such a plugin would help you better manage your bookmarks.

    I really have no idea why your bookmarks are coming back, other than a cache issue where you delete them, but something else is displaying what is in a browser cache.

      Hey Sam,

      I used "Tiny Menu" and that has the same issue, it's the strangest thing.

      I try to get out of town during EAA, this town is a zoo when you go from a small town to the busiest airport in the world for a week

      I do try and get to the show each year though, it's fantastic to watch.

    PS: Before "testing" BACK UP your actual book mark folder. Make sure you're not backing up the IE bookmark folder --double check to make sure you backed up the FF one.

    Success, Sam

    Hey Sam, thanks for the help. Much appreciated. Drop me a line if/when you come to Oshkosh.

    I could not get those suggestions to work, a techy I'm not, but this one did work:

    Can't delete bookmarks

      Since Scot found his answer, maybe there's hope for me.

      Since the last update, whenever I open the browser, the first time I click on the Bookmarks menu button, the "save bookmark" box comes up. Once I cancel out of it, the problem disappears until the next session.

      Not earth-shaking, but it's starting to annoy me.

      Any ideas? FF help was no help...
