This is a firefox bug - I've seen it before (on my mother's machine).

It's due to firefox not doing the correct thing with IO on the bookmarks
file.

As mentioned in another mail you can restore from a backup that firefox
makes.

In a future release, firefox is going to be using sqlite for storing
thes ethings, which will mean that these problems go away (pretty sure
sqllite does all the right things)
