I came home today, started up Firefox, and noticed my bookmarks were gone and my quick tabs to popular sites, yahoo, etc. were missing. I went to organize bookmarks and restored them, but when I shut down Firefox and re-started it again, I AGAIN had lost my bookmarks and quick tabs. My computer is an IMac, OS X 10.5.8 and I'm running Firefox 3.6.13. Help!

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