User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8

Every times I close Firefox, I'm loosing the Bookmarks, I added.
If I Backup the Bookmarks (Manage Bookmarks -> Menue: Import and Backup -> Backup), they stay.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a Bookmark (Manage Bookmarks or Take&Drope)
2.close Firefox
3.Start Firefox
Actual Results:  
The Bookmark I added is missing.

Expected Results:  
Keep the Bookmark(s) I added.

Workaround:
After adding the Bookmarks I can Backup them (Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Backup).
When I now close and start Firerfox, the Bookmarks are there.

Looks like your Firefox is set to automatically import an old bookmarks file on startup.

i suspect you're a victim of bug 462366
try opening about:config and set importBookmarksHTML to false.
