Lost all bookmarks and backup bookmarks all of the sudden
As of now, I only have bookmarks as of 8-17-2012 and all othher bookmarks are gone. I restored bookmarks I had backed up in a HTML file from 6-15-2012. I have lost 2 month's worth of bookmarks and I don't know what they are. How do I get the bookmarks that I made between 6-15-2012 and 8-17-2012?

First, let's make a safe backup copy of any remaining bookmark backups.
Open Help > Troubleshooting Information and click the Show Folder button.
Do you see a folder named bookmarkbackups? Make a copy of that folder somewhere safe (e.g., the desktop). If you look inside the folder, are there some that appear larger than the most recent ones? If so try to restore the larger one using the procedure described in this article: Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer (see the Restoring from Backups section).
If none of the backups look promising at all, is it possible that you created a new settings (AKA Firefox profile folder)? In the Windows Explorer window, navigate up a level and see whether you have any other profile folders. If so, investigate whether any of them might have recent bookmark backups.
