cannot delete folders from favorites library, script error

version 21. It hangs up every time I try to delete a folder from bookmarks. I'm working in the show all bookmarks window. I get this error and it hangs. Eventually, sometimes, it's still deleting, but not before hanging for minutes.


A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: resource://gre/modules/PlacesUtils.jsm:2292

How many bookmarks do you have?

You can enter a colon (:) in the search bar in the Library and press Ctrl+A to select all items in the right pane that shows the result.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Thanks for your reply. Here's the situation.

I did follow the instructions and deleted places.sqlite and the other 2 files suggested.

That "fixed" the problem, kind of. You see, I had imported bookmarks from Chrome and that seems to be what caused the problem. After I deleted the files and reopened FF, then the Chrome import was gone. And I was able to delete or copy paste in bookmarks manager.

The problem is that I had exported FF bookmarks to Chrome and was going to use it as primary. Then when that wasn't working out, I was going to import Chrome bookmarks, as that's where i've been saving to. Now, my newest bookmarks in in Chrome, but importing seems to mess up FF. This is what I need to work around, somehow. Or else stick with Chrome as primary.

Any suggestions?

One thought I had would be to first delete all bookmarks in FF (backup first) and then import Chrome and let that replace everything, that ways I don't have to go and edit all the duplication. However, if importing Chrome still messes up the script and causes FF to hang when I try to delete, then I still have a problem in FF. What do you suggest as a work around? The point is that that my updated list of favorites is now in Chrome, but I want to switch back to FF
