How do I stop my browser from duplicating my bookmarks on the bookmark tab?
My bookmark toolbar keeps duplicating my bookmarks and bookmark folders exponentially. It literally would take me hours to delete all of the duplicates. How do I get rid of them completely and stop them from duplicating again?

Are you using Sync?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

- Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync (temporarily) while performing maintenance/repair efforts to the places.sqlite database.
There are other things that need attention.
Your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
- (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:
You can uninstall the current Flash player version and (re)install the latest Flash version.

Note that this will remove all installed Flash players.
@the-edmeister, Yes I am using sync.
