First, system info:
I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8
I was using Firefox 3 until yesterday when I updated to 9. Had no apparent problems with bookmarks after the update but I had not closed the session; it was only after starting up this morning that all my bookmark folders are missing from the Bookmarks Menu.
I've been through all the "lost bookmarks" sections of Firefox - no answers there to my specific problem.
Most of them focus on bookmarks being completely missing - but in my case it's only the Folders that are missing.
Here are at least some of the pages I've looked at and been through all the suggestions that were relevant:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks#Bookmarks_missing_after_restarting
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues
There was a momentary power-down yesterday, but the folders were still there when the power came back on, so that's not it.
There was one anomaly with the way my bookmarks WERE. That is, when I selected Bookmarks from the top navigation bar, go down the drop-down past Bookmarks Toolbar, instead of all my folders being displayed there, I'd have to go to Bookmarks Menu and then to a side panel of the Menu which showed a
folder saying All Bookmarks and from there I'd have to go to another side panel that opened off that to access the list of all my folders and run down to select one. This strange functionality came after some previous update, never could fix that and got no help with it. So I just put up with having more mouse work to get to my sites.
This is a serious problem for me - I am in training on SEO, internet marketing, Wordpress, etc plus running another business. EVERYTHING I rely upon for my work was meticulously organized into those folders, which now
seem to be gone.
Are there any seriously technical people in Firefox/Mozilla who can go deeper than the stuff suggested on their websites?
