My bookmarks have disappeared and my backups will not import.

more options

I opened Firefox today and all my bookmarks are gone, as well as my browsing history. I have not updated anything or changed the program in any way since I last saw my bookmarks. I tried to import any of my backup files, and not one of them will work. They were backed up as recently as yesterday. Is there any way I can salvage them and prevent this from happening again?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I tried what it said, but nothing worked. I'm thinking I'll just have to rebuild my bookmarks and export the bookmarks.html on a regular basis.
