Quite a few bookmarks have disappeared from my bookmark toolbar (after the last update?)
Basically, the question says it all.
All of a sudden a lot of my bookmarks have disappeared from my bookmark toolbar. I am unable to find them anywhere.
I used to have quite a few of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

If you open the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b) and explore there, can you find them in a strange location?
If they are really gone, it's possible that the database file which stores bookmarks and history has become corrupted. cor-el has some suggestions for that here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511
You may also want to immediately make a backup copy of your bookmarkbackups folder. That folder can be located using:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
I suggest copying (not moving, just copying) the entire bookmarkbackups folder to an alternate location such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. That way as time passes, you will still have the older backups to restore if necessary.

Thank you thank you thank you. Very silly of me not to have looked.
