Pinned tabs and toolbar bookmarks disappearing.
I have set up pinned tabs twice, and they disappeared when i went to a new website. Then I decided to put bookmarks on the toolbar, and they keep disappearing, too. I had no trouble using Firefox on my Windows XP machine, but am now on a Windows 8 laptop.
Actually I think that I tried both bookmarks on toolbar and pinned tabs on a previous Windows 8 laptop, and I think it worked there, fine. Maybe I have something set wrong?
Thanks for being there! I want to stay true to Firefox!

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
- Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
- Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
- Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
- At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
- Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
- In the new window that appears, click OK.
- Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
