lost bookmarks
I have to install firefox new everyday on a library computer, (short answer mine was stolen and I can't replace it for now).
Anyway used to have no problem I would go in install firefox sign in and my bookmarks were repopulated. Today I installed firefox and nothing. No bookmarks, no add ons nothing its like a blank install with new profile.
I do not have a backup saved profile on this computer as it is a virtual machine and each day when it shuts down it wipes the programs and data installed. Because firefox repopulated the bookmarks each day when I re-installed it I was not aware I needed to create my own backup I assumed that it was just something in firefox that worked well and another reason why I prefere to use it.
Until today it was not an issue once I signed in everything would re appear but today its all gone. Is there anyway to recover this as it is very important that I do. I use these bookmarks a lot.

Well suddenly after a couple hours it synced and the bookmarks came back. Where were they stored in the cloud so that this could happen?
Hi
I understand from Mozilla staff that there was an issue with the Firefox Sync service that has now been resolved. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
But now that you realize how fragile it is, can you export your bookmarks to either (A) a USB flash drive (if the library allows removable media); or (B) the PC, which you then attach to an email message to yourself? That would be a good backup option since the bookmarks.html file is just a web page of clickable links you could open to access even when Sync is down.
This article has the steps to create that file: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks.
