my bookmarks disappear
I have a lot of bookmarks sorted in folders. firefox keeps randomly loosing either whole folders or just individual bookmarks. This caused me to migrate to chrome for about a year, but I really want to support Mozilla, so I'm back again.
I really cant stand this bookmark issue though.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Are you possibly using Sync to sync bookmarks?
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite (bookmarks and history) and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
in case errors are reported close and restart Firefox and retry

If "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:preferences page.

Thank you it seems that the issue was in doing large scale reorganising of my bookmarks with sync on. I simply turned off sync, & reordered/deleted duplicates & then turned sync on again. So far all is well.
