Hi IftekharSayeed, which method are you using to view your bookmarks? For example:
- menu bar > Bookmarks
- optional Bookmarks Menu toolbar button ()
- Bookmarks Toolbar
- Bookmarks Sidebar
- Library window ("Show All Bookmarks" or Command+Shift+b)
If the Bookmarks Toolbar is not shown, try one of these methods to show the toolbar list and select it there:
- right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
- (menu bar) View > Toolbars
- in Customize mode > Toolbars button (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)
To turn on the Bookmarks Toolbar, click it on the list.

Did you search the Bookmarks Manager (Library) in case you accidentally moved a folder to another folder?
If you use the Time Machine or other backup then try to restore file(s) from this backup.

You can also try to restore a recent compressed .jsonlz4 backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once. You also see this count in the Restore menu drop-down list.
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
