Firefox bookmarks will not stay "put" when program closes and reopens
Bookmark will not stay in desired location on bookmarks menu. Bookmark is saved, but moves to a different position. Dragging bookmark to desired position works for a while, but sooner or later it moves to a a different place. Note: Bookmark does not disappear, it just moves to the end of the main list.

Are you using Sync to sync the bookmarks?
If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync (temporarily) while performing maintenance/repair efforts to the places.sqlite database.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

Disabling Sync seems to have fixed the problem for the moment. Will try it without sync for a while and see if it stays "fixed". Thank you.
