deleting the trio of sqlite.xxx files, then spending a few moments to 
delete majority of duplicates, solved my issue


many thanks Lee & Frank

(and I got the spelling right this time!!)

On my Win7 system I was trying to watch some videos of format *.mkv, but 
I needed a new codec so went to https://www.windows7codecs.com/ and 
clicked on the Download button and got this message


"https://www.windows7codecs.com/G:\Temp\windows.7.codec.pack.v4.2.5.setup.exe.part 
could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred."


and my AVG anti-virus started up and opened a screen saying it had been 
quarantined 


"Threat secured.  We have moved qWtOEP1H.exe.part to your Quarantine 
because it was infected with Win32:Malware-gen."


My SM Download Manager shows that I've downloaded 10.6 MB of 44.3MB 
(over four attempts)!


Should I be worried??

If I should be thankful that AVG saved me from myself, does anyone have 
a suggestion as to how/what I can do so I can watch these (15GB of) 
video files??


TIA


Thanks, Guys!

I've installed vlc in my Windows 7 system and it works, thanks.

I've just used the Mageia Control Centre to download its vlc. Haven't 
tried it yet, but expect it to work, also!!

Not a great solution, but better than nothing.. assuming "manage
bookmarks" eventually does load all your bookmarks and you can export
your bookmarks as html (tools / export html).  Run a script to show
all the dups so you know what can be deleted:

$ cat findDupBookmarks.sh
#!/bin/sh
# input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file

BMF="$1"
# bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists

grep '[^>]*>//'  |\
 sort | uniq -d

$ findDupBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html
https://lite.qwant.com/


or you can list your bookmarks and run it thru a dead link checker or
somesuch to find things to be deleted or changed to point to
archive.org

$ cat listBookmarks.sh
#!/bin/sh
# input: FF/SM 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' file

BMF="$1"
# bookmark file name, should at least make sure it exists

egrep '( *//'\
 -e 's/^ *~~'\
 -e 's/">[^>]*>//'

$ listBookmarks.sh bookmarks.html | head -5
