Almost all of my bookmarks are suddenly empty

> Task: checkIntegrity
+ The places.sqlite database is sane
+ The favicons.sqlite database is sane
> Task: invalidateCaches
+ The caches have been invalidated
> Task: checkCoherence
+ The database is coherent

It sounds like a database problem. Do you recall seeing the error message described in the following article: [[Fix "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message]] Either way, the first thing I would suggest is a regular shutdown/restart of your system. Restarting Windows can help by freeing up locked files, completing any deferred updates, and resolving temporary file permission issues. Next, if Firefox still has bookmark problems, could you let us know what you get when you run the "Verify Integrity" diagnosis and repair function. That's here: Open Firefox's Troubleshooting Information page using any of these methods: * "3-bar" menu button > Help > More Troubleshooting Information * (menu bar) Help > More Troubleshooting Information * type or paste '''about:support''' in the address bar and press Enter Near the bottom, there is a section titled '''Places Database''' -- that's the file which stores history and bookmarks. Click the button labeled '''Verify Integrity'''. There may be a 10-15 second delay before results appear. If all is well, the report that appears below the button should start with: > Task: checkIntegrity + The places.sqlite database is sane + The favicons.sqlite database is sane > Task: invalidateCaches + The caches have been invalidated > Task: checkCoherence + The database is coherent Does yours say that, or something else? You can select and copy the report, and then paste it into a reply for review and comment.
