Firefox 39 For Windows 7
Hi - I'm running Firefox 39 on Windows 7 PC desktop, 64-bit. I already know how to restore bookmarks. I just can't figure out why they keep disappearing!. This has been bothering me for weeks. While troubleshooting this, I have backed up the bookmarks I want correctly.

I have even exported an HTML bookmarks file as well as a backup JSON bookmarks file - just in case I could be dealing with a corrupted JSON or SQLITE or other mysterious file. Yet my bookmarks keep disappearing.
I'll have, for example, 100 bookmarks. Then suddenly, in the middle of my work, I'll notice some of my bookmarks in my toolbar gone. When I close my browser and re-open it again to check what's going on with my bookmark backups - I see my old JSON file with 100 bookmarks - and a NEWER file that has, let's say, 55 bookmarks.
Forty-five (45) bookmarks have vanished in a flash! I restored them using the old file to get them back. But the problem of disappearing bookmarks keeps happening, apparently randomly.
As a last resort - I re-set my browser to create a new profile. But the problem continued. Then, in total frustration, I backed up my password and cookies SQLITE, DB and JSON files - and did a complete UNINSTALL of the browser - AS WELL AS - removing all 'Mozilla' entries from the registry. From there, I downloaded and did a clean install of Firefox and put the few aforementioned backup data files from my old profile - into the new one. I thought all would be fixed. NOPE!. I'm wondering if there is something embedded into my browser - either an add on or something in one of the SQLITE files - that is causing this baffling problem.
Yes, I can restore my old bookmarks back to their original state. But scores of them continue to disappear in the middle of a session. And when I close that session - the LAST visible bookmarks become part of a new backup JSON file that's generated, but that file purges a lot of my original bookmarks. I hope this makes sense.

Hi, thanks for the tips, but I've already deleted the places.sqlite file a few times, which is also a default action when you re-set Firefox or create a new profile or even do a clean install of the browser.
Perhaps there is something I'm doing wrong when I CLEANLY import the few data files including my bookmarks backup JSON files into the new browser profile. There is another possibility. I decided late last night to disable my EverSync add-on as well as any actions related to syncing my browser with my phone or with anything else. I've been on the browser off and on all day today (Tuesday) and have not experienced disappearing bookmarks.yet. However, I think you are right, there is something going on with the places.sqlite file - AFTER I import my bookmarks backup file, which interfaces and becomes a part of places.sqlite. It almost seems that I should start with a clean places.sqlite file and manually re-enter each bookmark - and not import anything else to my new profile - other than my password and cookies files - which don't interface with places.sqlite.

I don't know. I am still monitoring. If the disappearing bookmarks keep occurring even with sync actions turned off - then I may end up doing a manual re-build of my bookmarks. I just wish I knew what else might be causing this phenomenon in the event the cause is not the places.sqlite file.

After five (5) days of STABILITY - it appears to me that my problem with mysteriously disappearing bookmarks has been SOLVED!The problem was INDEED due to syncing. With both Firefox Sync AND EverSync extensions and add-ons disabled - (I shouldn't have ever had two syncing applications on in the first place, but Firefox does not support Windows Phone) - all of my bookmarks have been intact for five straight days (since Tuesday, 1 August 2015).There's no doubt in my mind that something going on with my smart phone was robbing the bookmarks that I use more often on my desk top. Still a bit of a puzzle but it's important that others who wonder 'why?' Their bookmarks keep disappearing - they should check their 'sync' add-ons or extensions - because repeatedly restoring bookmarks does not get to the root of such problems. Sometimes it's a corrupt places.sqlite file in the profile - but sometimes it's because of syncing operations between multiple devices.BTW, those extensions you recommended - FEBE and OPIE - in your note above - are excellent. Thanks again, Fred!

OK.Thanks you both - FredMcD and the-edmeister.I have started my PC in Safe Mode.And. 'It works'.Firefox 42 - is up normally!I wan to keep my currently working Firefox - version 39.So I'm using Portable Firefox - version 42 - which crashed too (and works in Windows safe mode).Reminder - this is my PC at work. It is Win 7 - 64 bit.It's behind the company's corporate firewall,uses 'WebSense' and also - 'Trend Micro OfficeScan' (I'm not admin. So I'm not ruling these components:( ). FYI - Websense update is causing crashes on startup.'
'report has been filed with WebSense, so it is up to them to come up with a fix for their software.' '(Please don't comment in that Bug report unless you can provide a patch to fix the problem.)'be a good idea to contact your IT staff about this issue with WebSense and Firefox because that Bug was filed on Firefox 39 - it's a few months old already.
