Firefox has auto-updated with lastest version and all new menu items and ALL my hundreds of BOOKMARKS have disappeared. Also, a new new product called Firefox Private browsing has been installed without my knowledge.

My bookmarks I use for work and life, and will very hard to re-create.

The browsers I have used before have always stored the bookmarks in a safe place?

I have turned off Auto-update as it obviously doesn't work or has serious bugs.

Private browsing isn't new but apparently there is now a separate task bar icon in Windows. You can disable that, I understand, and perhaps another Windows user can enlighten you.

The following article may help with the bookmarks you have lost.

You may need a policy file to stop automatic updating.
