Firefox didn't save my history or bookmarks on my Bookmark toolbar during a recent session.
I doing a lot of research and saving important webpages to my bookmark toolbar and when i opened Firefox browser this morning I saw all of the bookmarks I saved on the bookmark toolbar are gone and I also noticed that firefox didn't save any of the history which is odd. I really need to know if I can recover what i've lost, hours of research is down the drain and I'm freaking out a little bit.

The database looks okay. Have you opened the Bookmarks Manager and looked around?
Restore Bookmark Backups
Firefox automatically makes backups of the bookmarks. These are stored in the bookmarkbackups folder.
Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.
Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Restore. From the list, pick the file you want and click it.
The backups are stored in a jsonlz4 file named something like this; bookmarks-2016-06-29_1424_enD1GTH ya0JmicnYWg4V4g==.jsonlz4
In this example; 2016-06-29 = date created, 1424 = number of entries.
Note: Look for the file from the day before the data disappeared.
