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.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile Recovering important data from an old profile If you've had to create a new Firefox profile, this article will explain how to recover information like bookmarks, history and passwords from an old one.
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.
