For the second time this year (first in January 2025 and again on March 27, 2025) during an update to Firefox, the update took out my BOOKMARKS, BOOKMARK TOOLBAR AND CUSTOMIZED FIREFOX HOMEPAGE. I have used Firefox as my primary browser for over 18 years and have NEVER had an update delete those three components.
This happened after an update to version 136.0.4 on March 27, 2025.
So what are Firefox developers going to do to prevent this from happening every couple of months? There is NO way to fix it, even using the suggestions found in searches, importing from saved bookmarks doesn't work either as I get an error message. What happened the first time, after about 2-3 week without any BOOKMARKS (they are extremely important in my day to day life) all of a sudden they appeared again. I refuse to reinstall Firefox because the same update that took out those components would probably take them out again. So until Firefox developers fix this issue, I'll have to wait again for several weeks 'hoping' all three components will show up again.
Firefox developers, get resolution to this ongoing issue ASAP. When users of this browser depend on bookmarks to do their daily tasks and those bookmarks are deleted, it doesn't make for a good browsing experience.
Thank you!!

Thanks for the link, but I'm not interested in sharing bugs and/or helping to fix them. I only need help finding a solution as to why I keep losing my bookmarks after an update to Firefox was done in the background. I was online using Firefox when my bookmarks, the toolbar and customized FF homepage disappeared. In fact I had used my bookmarks prior to them disappearing.
