How to Delete Bookmarks and History in SQLite for Firefox

If you're looking to declutter your bookmarks and history in Firefox, this guide will walk you through the process of deleting them using SQLite.

To start, click on the Bookmarks menu in the left column and select 'Select All' followed by 'Delete'. This will delete all bookmarks. Alternatively, you can use the Library window to delete bookmarks individually or in bulk.

If you only want to delete one or the other, you can use the Library window to do so. Keep in mind that the database stores both bookmarks and history, so deleting one will also remove the corresponding entries from the other.

It's important to note that these actions are not reversible, so make sure you're certain before proceeding. If you have regrets, one of the menus in the Library window has an Undo command.

In addition, it's a good idea to keep a backup copy of the places.sqlite database file in case a new one needs to be created. This can be done by copying the file from the Firefox profile folder to a safe location.

If you're having trouble with your bookmarks or history, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take. First, try using the 'Verify Integrity' button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page (about:support). If this doesn't work, you can try renaming or removing the places.sqlite file and allowing Firefox to rebuild it.

If you're still having issues, you may need to remove the favicons.sqlite file from your profile folder. This will allow Firefox to recreate it and restore any missing favicons.

In summary, deleting bookmarks and history in SQLite for Firefox involves selecting all bookmarks or individual entries and then deleting them using the Library window or the Bookmarks menu. Be sure to keep a backup copy of the places.sqlite database file and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
