A Linux user suggests that you check file permissions within your profile directory (e.g.

A Windows user reports that running the CHKDSK utility fixed the Places database corruption that occurred after a crash.

Try to recover from a broken places.sqlite database using the steps given in this MDN article.

The bug fix restored bookmarks from backup but results in loss of history ( Bug 1416506 - Downgrading Firefox 57 to 52 ESR loses session) On such corruption Places throws away the db and creates a new one, importing bookmarks from the last backup.

Note: If you downgraded from Firefox 55 or above to Firefox 52 ESR, the places.sqlite corruption was probably the result of the fix for Bug 1415133 - Downgrading Firefox 57 to 52 ESR loses bookmarks (quote) The patch is trivial, it will just cause Places to consider the database corrupt if its schema version is too much in the future.

Always make sure that you close Firefox properly (e.g., no Firefox processes in the Windows Task Manager) before shutting down the computer. It is also possible that Firefox was not closed properly, as might happen when your computer loses power with Firefox running, which can cause a corrupt places.sqlite file.

(If you see any other places.sqlite* files, delete those as well, so that only one places.sqlite file remains.) It is possible that certain security or "cleanup" software (e.g., CCleaner) is causing the places.sqlite file corruption. If your Firefox profile folder includes a "" file, one reported fix is to open the Firefox profile folder and, after closing Firefox completely, delete or rename the places.sqlite file and then rename "" to "places.sqlite". If you have a bookmarks.html export or a saved copy of bookmarks.html, you can place it in the Firefox profile folder after removing the "places.sqlite*" and all JSON bookmark backups and Firefox will use those bookmarks to rebuild "places.sqlite". Check the creation date on your bookmarks.html as its use within Firefox was dropped starting with Firefox 3 and is now essentially used as a vehicle to transfer bookmarks between systems. You can optionally rebuild the Places database without using any JSON backups by also removing all "bookmarks-(date).json" files from the bookmarkbackups folder but this will result in missing bookmarks unless the profile folder contains a bookmarks.html file with your current bookmarks. Note: In rare cases, your JSON bookmark backup files may also be damaged. When you restart Firefox, "places.sqlite" will be rebuilt and your bookmarks will be automatically restored from the latest JSON bookmark backup however, your browsing history will be lost.

Delete or rename all files named "places.sqlite", including "places.sqlite-journal" and any "" files, if found (but first, see below, if a file exists).

First try the other solutions given above. Warning: Deleting or renaming the places.sqlite file will result in rebuilding the places database and loss of all browsing history, which is used for features such as the Location Bar Auto Complete drop-down (AwesomeBar) list. If the previous solutions and the " Places Maintenance" extension ( see above) didn't resolve the problem, you can rebuild the Places database as follows: (You may wish to export your bookmarks to an HTML file first, as a precaution.)

If you have a recent profile backup, another possible solution is to remove the "places.sqlite" file (and any other files named "places.sqlite*", e.g., "places.sqlite-journal", if found) from the Firefox profile folder and replace it with the "places.sqlite" backup file.

This is one of the new JetPack extensions so you can install it, use it, and uninstall it, all without taking Firefox down. You can run the extension with all of the options enabled. The extension features several options, each of which will repair damage to the Places database while preserving the stored data. Install and run the " Places Maintenance" extension ( see this blog post for details). As a first step (or if your problem is limited to periodic Firefox freezes) you may be able to essentially rebuild the Places database with an add-on.If the symptoms described earlier occur even when you first start Firefox after rebooting the computer, the Places database ( places.sqlite file) may be damaged.
