My bookmarks and history keep disappearing and the backup system isn't working (this has happened a half a dozen times in the last few weeks). Any ideas why?

I have manually recreated my list of bookmarks in Firefox several times now only to come back (days) later and find they have disappeared. Probably related (but less concerning) is the fact that the browsing history also seems to have been cleared.

My browser is set to remember my history and I haven't been using the private browsing option. The backup/restore option for the bookmarks doesn't seem to be functioning, either, because even when I select a day on which I know there were functioning bookmarks, "restoring" to that day does absolutely nothing.

The computer in question is my desktop at work, and I haven't been in the office much over the summer, so I didn't know what updates had been installed and when, so I was hopeful that updates were somehow responsible. However, the bookmarks I saved this past Friday were lost over the weekend, and according to the update history, no new updates were installed.

Before I left the office on Friday, I tried restarting the browser and the computer in an attempt to figure out what was triggering this deletion; neither of those two actions had any effect -- the history and bookmarks were all still in tact after the restarts.

Any thoughts?

Make sure no automatic tune-up tools such as TuneUp Utilities, Glary Utilities or programmed CCleaner work on your computer.

Thanks for the suggestion... and I'm sorry (embarrassed?) to have to ask this, but how do I check for those things?

Don't worry. Just check that in your Start Menu there's no program with such names.

After that go to Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Scheduled Tasks and check no "CCleaner" "TuneUp" "Glary Utilities" "Cleanup" or similar programs are on that folder. If so, just delete them and it should work again.

If you still have problems, reply or tweet me.

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

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
