    1) You don't bump something the same day that it was posted, ok?

    2) Make sure you arent switching profiles. I'm on Mozilla (not Firefox), but for me it's 'Tools -> Switch Profile...' Try that and make sure you're on the right one.

    This has happened to many people, me including. If you want to get your favorites back then simply go to "C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Default Profile Here>\bookmarkbackups"
    They should be there, and as for the reason this is happening its becuase youre having an instance where two firefoxs are running but one cant be used and you think its just not opening, so it asks you to make a new profile thus reseting all your stuff. To make sure this doesnt happen again when/if it asks you to create a new profile when you think ff just isnt opening, ctrl+atl+del and end all the firefoxs you see.
