Highlights, bookmarks
my highlight section in new tab screen is set to show only bookmarks. initially it was empty but then i started bookmarking webpages, they started to show up on there. But suddenly they are gone today and i am unable to add them back to highlights section, all the bookmarked websites are still in my bookmark list, but they are not showing up on the highlight sec.

Not sure whether this is relevant, but I'll mention it just in case:
The Highlights section is limited to recent activity, so bookmarks you added before that time will stop appearing in that section.
I think the limit is 5 days based on: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/modules/NewTabUtils.jsm
- line 1139: * {num} bookmarkSecondsAgo: Maximum age of added bookmark.
- line 1146: bookmarkSecondsAgo: ACTIVITY_STREAM_DEFAULT_RECENT,
- line 102: const ACTIVITY_STREAM_DEFAULT_RECENT = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60;

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
This can be caused by a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite databases in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.
