Firefox 21 on Windows 7 64bit --- after hours of use or computer hibernating stops saving bookmarks and downloads. Example if I bookmark MSN the box will appear, I choose the folder and hit Done, if I then close the browser, re-open it, and go to the folder in the bookmarks list the site will not be there. With downloads/picture saving it's the same idea with one difference, it'll bring up the dialog box allow me to select a folder but it will not show in Firefox's download manager. I've gone thru the steps of troubleshooting/ resetting Firefox but this keeps reoccurring. Any ideas?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Thanks to you both I'm not sure the add on will fix my particular problem but it looks handy anyway. I checked out my profile folder and found a corrupt copy of the place file. So followed the instructions to deal with it, so far so good. I'll post again if anything changes...
