This morning (8-2-2007) I think after an update, Firefox lost all my Bookmarks and themes, but still kept extensions and passwords.  I could not manage to import my backed-up bookmarks in any way and ended up having to bookmark manually from the backup file(there needs to be a way to get backup from .html to Firefox).  I also had to re-download all of my themes.  It was weird, to say the least.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Program seems to run fine now, though I had to manually replace a couple things


Could this be a possible bug in the update?

I don't think that is a problem in the update, many people have upgraded. 
Do you still have the old deleted files to attach here for investigation?
