Why do my bookmark tabs keep disappearing?

I have a mac and ever since my Firefox was updated automatically and told me to install the newest version of Flash Player, my bookmark tabs have disappeared. And every time I add them again once I quit Firefox and restart it they are gone again. I haven't touched my preferences in a very long time and this problem only started when the browser was updated. I've tried re-installing the browser and Flash Player, which didn't work. I've also tried holding down option while opening Firefox and selecting to restore my bookmarks, which also doesn't help me.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
