Firefox keeps dropping my bookmarks or perhaps not storing them when I ask it to. Is there a fix?

Firefox keeps dropping some of my bookmarks and not storing others when I ask it to. Also, in searching for answers, I found out that I have 2 profiles. I couldn't open any of the 3 items in the first but in the second one I found a number of dated bookmarkbackups files. Am I supposed to have 2 profiles? How do I fix all this.

I have also noticed other anomalies and wonder if they are part of the new 32.0 download I just got. Today, twice, exactly 27 instances of Firefox opened when I clicked on it just once.

If you or Firefox itself did a reset, a new profile would be created.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
