Can't delete bookmark

System info: Ubuntu 11.10, running Firefox-trunk 12.0a1 (2012-01-21), unable to delete bookmarks.

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

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

I can not delete bookmarks from the bar as I am spammed with many bookmarks.

On my bookmark bar I have multiple instances of "Webmail Notifier" and they are in my bookmark list in many places. I am unable to delete them at all. How can I fix this issue?
I have many bookmarked items that I do not want to lose as well.

I did that and the links disappeared. The problem that I have now is:
I now have 7 empty folders that I am unable to remove on my bookmark bar.
I have many empty folders in my bookmarks that I am unable to remove as well.
I can not move them, I can not delete them.
I am attempting to include a snapshot so you can see.

I can't delete a more than 10 bookmarks at a time, I can't delete bookmarks folder

Firefox 25, Mac 10.8
If I try to delete more than 10 bookmarks at a time or a folder with bookmarks in it, FF hangs, then says there's a script that isn't running properly & do I want to continue or stop the script - I've tried continuing but it just hangs again, and I've tried stopping the script but it still hangs..
I've restarted FF, turned off Sync, turned on Sync.
I tried exporting my bookmarks to html, to edit them in a file then re-import them, but the file was incomplete - it did not contain all the folder in My Bookmarks.
Deleting bookmarks has been a pain ever since Sync was introduced, and Firefox doesn't have an official iOS app and the 3rd party ones don't work consistently, so I don't get much use from sync

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in stating my problem.
I understand how to delete both bookmarks and folders containing bookmarks according to the instructions, and have done so easily in the past.
But, since update to FF25 I haven't been able to delete a folder with bookmarks in it or more than 10-12 bookmarks at a time.
I resolved the issue by quitting FF, importing my bookmarks into Chrome, using Chrome's import as FF also was not exporting a complete bookmark list. I cleared out some duplicates in Chrome, exported bookmarks from Chrome to an html file, removed the places sqlite file from my profile, deleted all FF bookmarks, and imported the bookmarks html file into FF, which created a new & functional places sqlite file with the same set of bookmarks as at the beginning. I can only think the places file was corrupted somehow during the update as that was the only file I had to delete to fix the issue - I can now move & delete folders with hundreds of bookmarks in them and delete as many bookmarks as needed at one time.
"There is no way to select more than one item at a time in the right pane in the mac environnement. " (sic)
I think you mean there is no way to delete more than 1 item at a time in the LEFT panel, the list of folders, not in the right panel, the list of bookmarks and the contents (bookmarks) of subfolders.

Can't delete bookmarks or add bookmarks on my iOS7 Safari.

I have a iPad2 wifi 16gb. I want to delete bookmarks from Safari. I have tried everything from the forums, "edit>delete. Nothing. My bookmarks are locked and won't delete. I can't add any as well. Anyone can help? Is this a bug?

I fixed it..sort of.
Using the link below, BIS (Blackberry Internet Service) sent an email with a link to set up the email through the web. It was a very quick and easy set-up for Google App Email. No guessing settings - it just worked. And it allowed me to have two email set-ups with the same email address..sort of.
There was no way to have two mail folders on the phone with the old mail & new, but by doing it this way, a new folder was set up on my phone for the new address, and all the old messages remained in the Main Message folder. I don't know if that would have happened if I deleted the old account. I read a lot of people having trouble with Google Apps setup so this is definitely the way to go:

When I click organise bookmarks I get "library window" so can't delete bookmarks as I was able to do with an earlier version of Firefox -any advice, please

When I click organise bookmarks I get the library window and not bookmark organiser as in a previous version of Firefox so I can't erase bookmarks, advice please

The Library handles the Bookmarks and the History in Firefox 3 versions and later.
You can select in the left pane what you want to see: History, Tags, or Bookmarks.

TS4040 Safari giving me headaches. Can't delete bookmarks, etc. Must force quit all the time

I have a Mac OS X Lion. I have tried several suggestions as to how to fix my Safari problems...and none have worked.
Months ago, I took my computer to the Apple store, they wiped the hard drive, loaded Lion operating system. I reinstalled everything that had been saved on Carbonite and have been having trouble with Safari ever since.
Can I reinstall Safari? Or/and what must I do to delete bookmarks?
Thanks, in advance, for all the suggestions. Most appreciated. Jan

Sorry, I should have added this error message that I get when trying to move the rejected clips to the trash:
The operation could not be completed. * -[NSPlaceholderMutableDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:]: number of objects (0) not equal to number of keys (4)
Perhaps this will help someone with nailing down what the issue is.
Thanks again.

Can not delete bookmarks

I have a mac mini, and use to be able to delete bookmarks. I no longer can. I do it the way I always have done it. What may be the problem

Sounds like you may need to re-install Safari.
1. Make sure you have an alternate browser like Firefox installed.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
2. Save your bookmarks. Safari>File>Export Bookmarks
3. Delete Safari from the Applications folder also your User Account>Library>Safari folder
4. Use your alternate browser to download Safari from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/safari/
5. Re-install Safari and import your saved bookmarks.
You might want to consider upgrading to OSX 10.6 but I doubt that is your problem.

Upgraded to Firefox 4, now I can't delete bookmarks. Help!

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and now I can't delete any bookmarks. Help!

On the Bookmarks toolbar, click on the Bookmarks icon (far right), then scroll to the bottom of the list and select the last entry "Unsorted Bookmarks".
When the bookmarks list opens, go to the left hand column and click on Bookmarks Menu.
Now right click on the bookmark(s) you wish to delete and select Delete from the list of options.

How can i delete bookmarks I no longer need?

I cannot find anything to click on to delete bookmarks from the menu that I no longer need and my keyboard delete key does nothing to help in this case. I am using a Macbook.

How can I delete bookmarks that aren't in a folder (unorganized)?

When I click on "Organize Bookmarks" I don't find a way to get to the bookmarks that aren't organized into a folder. I'd like to delete some and to sort others into the folders, but none of these show up. There is an item in the left bar named "Unorganized Bookmarks" but when I highlight it, it shows nothing as if it were empty. Is there another way I can access those single bookmarks to sort them and delete them?
Thank you!
Christopher

Crazy K,
If you want to burn them, you need to have the song files physically on your local drive.
If they were purchased from one of the online stores that allows re-downloading (Amazon Digital Music, iTunes Store, etc.), just download new copies.

Can't delete bookmark folders

I have tried repeatedly to delete folders in bookmarks. Last night they disappeared finally but this morning they are back! I have removed the firefox program from computer and then reinstalled but it remembers, I logged out of sync and then removed from computer again, then reinstalled but the program continues to remember my original folders.

Are you sure it's the bookmarks, and not history?

How can I delete bookmarks on my toolbar when the 'bluestar' isn't illuminated? (Same for the 'delete' button in the library menu).

Dear Sir/Madam
I have had a look at your solutions page and have tried to use all the advice suggested however, when I try to delete three items on by Toolbar, none of them illuminate the 'BlueStar' which is beside their address. (I have successfully got rid of other items). I have also tried to delete the items in Firefox's library menu, however, the delete button their isn't illuminated either. I am now concerned that the items are spyware. I was thinking of reinstalling the software but, this would mean loosing all my Bookmarks.
For your information, I have just updated Firefox to 28.0.
I would appreciate your help with this matter.
Kind regards
Suzanne

Dear sludge7051-x
Thank you so much for all your help.
I did as you said (after trying to find a very old mouse in my computer box in the attic!), and managed to delete the offending tags.
Really appreciate your prompt response to my problem.
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards
