With the new updates beginning Monday, i lost my bookmarks, the ability to restore the, the ability to get them through sync and the ability to even create one. In the profiles, I created a new profile based on my current profile and launched it in a new window. All the bookmarks are there and work. I make it the default profile and restart. The browser comes up as before with no bookmarks, cannot restore, cannot add them, etc.. I go to profiles, yes, it is using the alternate. I set the original back to default and restart. Same thing no bookmarks, the alternate if started in a new browser does have the bookmarks... see the circle of despair I am in. I tried this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-user-data-missing-after-firefox-update#firefox:win7:fx71 It did not work (see above). Also, I am getting this error banner on my screen after every restart:
