Sorry about that. I don't think that this should happen

Did you use the toolbar Forget button?

Note that that will close all open tabs.

You can check in Windows/File Explorer if there is a previous version of the places.sqlite file available.

  • Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

Note that this will restore the bookmarks as well to the restore date, so if necessary then create a bookmarks backup to avoid more dataloss.
