Your bookmarks are associated with the Firefox profile you are using. There may be instances when you or Firefox creates a new profile containing the default set of bookmarks (for example, if you make a separate installation of Firefox or when you downgrade Firefox).

To see if another profile exists, type about:profiles into the Firefox address bar and press the EnterReturn key. This will open the About Profiles page, which will list at least one profile and could list many. The profile that Firefox is currently using will show: This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted.

See Recover user data missing after Firefox update for more information.

Firefox creates a new profile each time it starts

A new profile is automatically created for each separate installation of Firefox (see Dedicated profiles per Firefox installation for details). If you are running Firefox directly from the disk image (Firefox .dmg) file you downloaded, it may be detected as a new installation each time you start Firefox. Do not run Firefox directly from the .dmg file; move it to the Applications folder instead. See How to download and install Firefox on Mac for instructions.
