I have had my bookmarks disappear 3 times now in about 4 week span. Never had
this happen until recently. I have used Firefox since June. I have Mozilla
Firefox 1.0.7. I have read the other bug tickets about this. No body seems to
have an answer to why this happens or a fix for it. I can't keep having my
bookmarks disappearing. This is the first & only issue I have had with Firefox.
This is a major issue for me because I am a web site developer & run some
eCurrency exchange sites. I wont use a product this is instable as this. 

Thanks!

Expected Results:  
Not delet my bookmarks. What do you think....

I am using Firefox the way it was when I downloaded it. I didn't install any
thing extra.
Upcoming 1.5 version is better on this.  It also backs up your bookmarks every
day automatically, so there is a way out of the problem.

MR. Wright,
  When is it coming out & how do I fix it currently?

Thanks!

>how do I fix it currently?
1.Most probably by closing Firefox and not letting windows close it.
(the cause is kinda vague though, but seems to point in that direction)
2.Make a copy of bookmarks.html in your profile
(see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile#Firefox )
