every time I add a new bookmark one of the previous ones disappear
There seems to be a finite limit to the number of bookmarks as it seems that every time I add 1, 1 disappears. The bookmarks do not show up anywhere I can find, even in "Show all Bookmarks". Any idea of the limit?

Before you lose any more data, please do this:
Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.
Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer/profile. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.
