Bookmarks disappeared, unable to recover

Hello Mozilla community! I turned my computer on, after I got off to work, to find out that all of my bookmarks disappeared. The only ones that pop up are YouTube and Google (which doesn't work because the address is "https://ww." for some reason). When I try to add another bookmark, it lets me name it, but it never registers the address, and just stays at "about:blank". When I try to recover the bookmarks, it says there is an error on every single back up. 

I've tried all the "solutions" they've listed including restarting it, putting it in safe mode, and completely uninstalling it and re-downloading and installing it twice. If anybody can help me, I will be so grateful. I'm about to completely give up on Mozilla because of this. Thank you very much for your time.

Literally, right after I posted this question, I closed Firefox, then when I reopened it, all my bookmarks randomly appeared. I even uninstalled it twice, and deleted my old profiles. I guess nothing on the internet really gets deleted anymore, huh? I would delete this question but I don't think you can.
