Earlier today my bookmarks were there. Later tonight, not there.

I've tried the whole restore bookmarks process, I've copied the folder and deleted the places file thing. None of that has worked.

What's weird is if I type something in in the URL box that I know is in my bookmarks, it will show up like it's in the history. But nothing shows up in my bookmarks folder at all.

I need some help on this as I've tried almost every way I've read and nothing has brought them up. And like I said in the title, I have over 800 bookmarks and a lot of them are work related.

Just search for a common character like a colon to make Firefox find all bookmarks.
If you select all bookmarks (Ctrl+A) then Firefox will show a count just above the Details pane.
