Where are all my bookmarks? I have done all the checks in the FAQs. still no bookmars and I can not add any new ones to replace the lost ones either

After number two daughter "played with" this 'puter. I have lost all my long and well established bookmarksl The bookmark tab no longer displays a dropdown list of the web addresses trhat it always has done in the past. just a useless blank page with meaningles divisions.
I have tried to reinstall the bookmark by importing them from a previous HTML file and I have tried restoring them from a JSON file, both of which are up to date as of this morning.
Nor can I rebuild the data because I can no longer add any bookmarks
I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox. Still nothing. If this is a result of an automatic upgrade, the words "chocolate teapot" spring to mind.
If this is the work of number two daughter, then it is no Father Christmas this year unless you can restore my missing bookmarks to their previous glory, and quickly.
(The bookmarks are still in the HTML file and I could use them at a pinch. But why should I have to swop between two programmes when up until now they have worked perfectly?)

Progress report - Curiouser and curiouser! I reloaded Firefox having completely cleared out previous(uninstalled and cleared our all registry references)
After reload I put the bookmarks HTML file in the Mozzilla folder and ran Firefox. After five or six seconds, it sprang into life complete with all the old bookmarks in place and all useable. I have since tried to add one more and now they have all vanished again!!!!!!!
So far I have followed all the suggestions in the Mozzilla "do this to repair the problem" pages on the web. Uninstalled and reinstalled three times, run various 'repair' programmes including the ones directly dowloaded from the Mozzilla website. Used the 'go back to previous saved data' option and reloadedm the data from a previously saved HTML programme. Done all this more than once, only to be back where I started with no bookmarks, and no SQLITE file nor folder found on any hard drive.
The 'puter is sitting behind a hard wired firewall (old computer acting as firewall) plus a good anti virus and firewall software programme running as well. I don't think I've been hacked but I am beginning to wonder. Twice is coincidence, more than three time sounds more like enemy action!
Strange that everything worked following the last reinstall, only to vanish again when I tried to add one more bookmark
