I went on holiday for a week, came back, switched on my laptop and all my Bookmarks and the Bookmarks Toolbar have disappeared. And Firefox won't let me Bookmark any new pages either? I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and Max OSX 10.6.6

I have tried Troubleshooting from the Help pages - Restore Bookmarks - can't as I've been away for more than 5 days Check Profile - no new profile has been created. I have only one.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Thanks so much. I had to create a new profile, which brought back the toolbar and was then able to import a previous backup of my bookmarks into the new profile. Deleted the old, damaged profile and all is well again.

Much appreciated.
