I had a few issues on my OS so i re-formatted the hard drive (drive C:) after that i was reinstalling all the programs and personal stuff like all users but this time when i copied my Mozilla Firefox folder so preserve my bookmarks, i went in and replaced the new folder with my old folder and my bookmarks are not there at all, nether is my persona or skin and add on. im sad that i most likely have lost 20+ important bookmarks and have to re-apply my persona and add-on/s.
