Bookmarks are lost after Sync
I was scared when using Sync if all bookmarks will be lost if it will not work sync. Now it finally came to this issue as I have main PC with bookmarks and while Sync was started ALL bookmarks vanished. I think this is not stable and you have changed something on server. These data are years of work and please help me how to bring back from last day ALL bookmarks.

Firefox sync is intended to synchronise between computers, you may therefore have good bookmarks on another machine, is that the case ?
Firefox also tries to backup bookmarks and keep spare restore sets, but take great care with these as they overwrite whatever you currently have, always make manual backups and keep them somewhere safe, eg the Windows desktop, outside Firefox program and profile paths.
I suggest you backup whatever bookmarks you have now on all machines immediately, (each day you delay may loose a snapshot copy) and then again after each of any restore attempts. It is a good practice in any event to regularly back up bookmarks manually, they are after all as you say often years of work.

You are using Firefox 4 per the system info aside, that is not supported, it would be better to use Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 8

Hope that indicates you sorted out the problem.

Many users have issue with Firefox 8 as some Ads-on are not supported. Another issue is if you have two working PC. One will Sync and another will delete all bookmarks...Sync can not be set as manual Sync?
