I don't know what your problem is, but your bookmarks are in a file
called bookmarks.html. It is stored in an area called your profile.
Your profile contains all your settings, prefs, passwords, bookmarks, etc.

To locate your profile, you can read this:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#profile

but the reason you can't find them is because they are hidden, so you
have to unhide windows, and you can do this by reading this:

Does the profile manager appear when this happens, claming that the old
profile is in use and making you create a new one?

Hullo Folks.
I have a problem twice now, Firefox 'seems' to reset itself. All that
seems to happen is I lose all me bookmarks. I can (and do) import back,
but of course I lose the recent ones. What I would like to know is why
(it happens), how (to stop it happening again), and where (the bookmarks
are stored). I have looked under docs & settings but not all the
bookmarks are there. Can anybody help?? Look forward to hearing from
you. TIA, John

When the bookmarks dissappear, you're probably getting a popup telling
you the profile is in use... or something similar.
Cancel out and close your firefox window.
Then go to the task manager (control-alt-delete) and under the processes
tab look for a running instance of firefox and then end task on it.
Or (takes longer) reboot your computer.
It's a glitch that I'll be happy to see get fixed!
