My bookmarks all disappeared.
Somehow my bookmarks disappeared. I have some folders in my Toolbar but my bookmarks are gone. I am not able to save new bookmarks to the toolbar.When I open my "SHow My Bookmarks" it does not show any folders or Bookmark. How do I delete the old folders? I deleted Firefox and downloaded a new version but same problem occures.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

- Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
On Mac you can also check if you have an older copy of the places.sqlite file in the Time Machine or possibly restore bookmarks from a .json or compressed .jsonlz4 backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
