This is usually a problem with the Linux theme you are using.

See this thread for some examples for code in userChrome.css

It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.

The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.

You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text posted.

You need to close and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userChrome.css file.

I am having the same problem and I am on Windows 10, running the latest version (63.0.1 64 bit).

Bookmarks just stopped working as usual. As soon as I add a separator, it disappears.

Update: Doing a "Refresh Firefox..." fixed the problem. Well, learned something new I guess! :)

Thanks to cor-el for pointing out the "Troubleshooting Information" page.
