lost bookmarks
Having bookmarked a web site into a particular folder, when I next need to use it, it is not where I put it and I have to search again for the site. Why is this?

Hello,
First, check your Unsorted Bookmarks to see if maybe it wound up there for whatever reason. However, try to bookmark other sites, and if you are unable to bookmark any site, it could mean something happened to your places.sqlite file.
Open your profile folder by going to your about:support page:
- Help (or
> 
) > Troubleshooting Information
- Click the Show Folder button
- Right click on your places.sqlite file and make sure that it is not set to Read-only
You can also install the Places Maintenance extension to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first as they provide helpful hints and instructions that may be relevant to you:
