Ever since about one week I dealt with a similar problem. Probably I
managed to solve it. In my case, it had to do with problems related to
the add-on 'Foxmarks', software meant to synchronise the bookmarks of
Firefox running on two or more computers.
Step 1.
I started Firefox and I found the vanished bookmarks elsewhere under the
menu 'bookmarks'. Because of some bug in Foxmark, the 'personal
toolbar' had been shifted from the toolbar to another place that I found
via the 'bookmarks' menu, under the name 'personal toolbar'. There you
will might back all the 'lost' bookmarks, as I did.
Step 2.
Last Friday, an update of 'Foxmarks' had been issued. However, one day
later, it had been withdrawn because of several technical problems. What
I did:
UNinstall Foxmarks 2.0 via TOOLS>add-ons>extensions
than INSTALL the previous version, 1.01.
Ever since I re-installed Foxmark 1.01 I everything runs smoothly again.
Respectfully Yours,
Bas.
