I have had several folders emptied after various updates. I can't say that it happens after each upgrade, because I don't always check all of my folders each time. Sometimes, as this last time, the bookmarks that disappear are ones I've had for a very short time (days) and in earlier cases they were bookmarks I'd had for months or years. I have most of my bookmarks grouped into folders, and those are the ones I was conscious of losing the most of, because they are defined groups. This aphasia doesn't seem to affect the un-foldered bookmarks, but I can't say that with absolute certainty, since I prefer to keep my stuff in folders.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install update.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Bookmarks may or may not all be where they were.

Expected Results:  
Be able to keep the pages I've bookmarked.

do you have add-ons that act on bookmarks?
