Two months ago, Firefox ate my bookmarks. The whole lot just vanished

again!
It seems to be just the bookmarks disappearing - all my settings,
preferences, cookies and history are still there. Has anyone else
experienced this?
My bookmarks are stored in
/home/margot/.mozilla/firefox/fa9vhbhp.default/bookmarks.html
In the same folder, there's also a file called bookmarks.bak - when the
original file changes, this backup file automatically changes too - so,
when the original file deleted its own entire contents, it then created
a backup of the newly-emptied file!
Luckily, I have my own backups stored elsewhere, so I haven't actually
lost anything, but I'm puzzled about why this is happening. Any ideas?
Have you created new ID's ?
Not knowingly, though I'm not sure what the cats get up to when I'm
asleep - I'm sure the little Siamese devil knows all my passwords,
including my root password, as he's often sitting on my lap while I'm
typing ;-)
