bookmarks lost everytime I open Firefox 31 since update Mac OS X 10.7.5
have reset Firefox; uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works. Only way to get to bookmarks is cumbersome, many steps and slow. To do that, I have to pull down Bookmarks menu, Show All Bookmarks, go to 3 bars, reset bookmarks, wait, wait, wait, bookmarks come back but gone next time I close Firefox and reopen bookmarks gone.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
I tried what cor-ei said, worked temporarily but when Firefox closed and reopened, same lost bookmarks problem
Try to repair the disk permissions:
The fix you suggest only covers up to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) I have 10.7.5 installed which is Lion.
