User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

One day I was using Firefox 0.9.2 and all my bookmarks were there and the world
was in great balance. But then one day later I came back to see all my bookmarks
gone. It's a strange problem involving data loss (make that unexpected data loss!).

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just wait and see

Actual Results:  
Unexpectly sometimes the bookmarks dissapear like the Great Whoduini.

Expected Results:  
The bookmarks should always be there.

Never happened to me in more than a year of intense browsing using Phoenix,
Firebird or Firefox

I have also experienced this problem.  During the early morning hours, I was
browsing normally, then closed Firefox 0.9.3 down and left.  I came back a few
hours later and all of my bookmarks were gone.  I had though that it was just
the bookmarks that had gotten deleted, but all settings were back to default.  I
then checked to see if Firefox had gone into some kind of safe mode, and
confirmed that it had not.  I then proceeded to check the actual bookmark file,
and found that there was no information contained within it.  This problem
happened about a week ago, and I have yet to seen it manifest itself again. 
This was the first and only time I ever encountered this problem.

So far, I have been unable to duplicate this issue.  I have tried shutting down
while Firefox is running, simulated power outage while Firefox was running, and
also just normal browsing.  None have re-created this problem.

Just opened up the program and all of my bookmarks were gone.  No idea how to
find them.
