I noticed a couple of days ago that all of my bookmarks are missing. The folders are there, but they are all empty. I tried re-downloading and reinstalling firefox, but they're still empty. How can I retrieve them?

You have bookmark backups for five days, you can restore them while Firefox is running, so you need to act quickly.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
