[Sorry for the looooong delay in responding]

They had disappeared from the sidebar as well as the bookmark manager.

And it's happened again (sort of).  This time, *some* of my bookmarks 
have disappeared (some hierarchies).  I can't figure out what triggered 
it.  I got up this morning and I couldn't find some precious links :-(

I can't find where bookmarks.html is kept, so I can at least back it up. 
  (Windows "Search can not find bookmarks.html, which is the name of the 
bookmarks file, according to Mozilla Help.

I tried to navigate Mozilla's bug reporting system, but I got confused 
(ok - impatient is more like it).

Needless to say, I'm spooked (and losing faith in Mozilla).  Nothing 
like this ever happened to me with IE.  Now, I've lost data twice within 
   4 months!

"About Mozilla" reports that I'm on Mozilla 1.7 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; 
U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616)

Any suggestions are welcome!
