Firefox deletes my Live Bookmark feeds on restart

Whenever I subscribe to a website via Live Bookmark, it will show in my Toolbar just fine and dandy. But when I restart Firefox, all my Live Bookmarks are gone. I've tried the information on this page http://mzl.la/ON1mdk with deleting my places-sqlite file to no avail. I don't think I have any add-ons that mess with my bookmarks either (though how can I tell if Safe Mode is gone on restart?). I have "Remember History" and don't delete any of my history or cookies or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated!!

Chosen solution

Do you mean the Live bookmarks folder or only its content (drop down list)?

Live bookmarks are loaded via an XML file from the server and needs to be reloaded each time you start Firefox.
Current Firefox versions threat RSS feeds as bookmarks and you need to reload each of them manually to refresh the list.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:

Thank you SO much cor-el!! I was referring to the drop down list on the Bookmarks Toolbar.When I backed up and restored my bookmarks, somehow it worked like a charm! My Live Bookmarks are now there every time I start Firefox and load properly! Thanks again!
