There hasn't been an update : 2.0.0.11 dates from November 27th.

For your problems, see <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks>. Your browser probably just found that the profile was corrupted or in use, and has created a new one.

The whole Bookmark backend is new with FF3.0b2 because to avoid something like this. I don't think that the very old 2.X branch get a fix, marking wontfix
