Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

After upgrading to 5.0 from 4.0, all my bookmarks in my booksmarks toolbar were lost and appear to be un-recoverable.

Recently my Firefox 4.0 auto updated to 5.0. After the install, all the previous kept bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar have disappeared. I have attempted to restore my bookmarks using the JSON files I have stored, including one from the day before updating. When I attempt to restore them, either no bookmarks are loaded, or I am prompted with an "Unable to restore from selected file" error message. I am deeply frustrated by this, as this has occurred on my work terminal which contained a multitude of work required bookmarks, in the bookmark toolbar. Is there anyway to restore the bookmarks I have lost?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
