Typically if my computer crashes with Firefox open I lose all my cookies, though, that's a tad different from favorites. It's best if you get a firefox addon that saves your favorites.

depending if you use Vista or not, backup bookmarks, uninstall, delete Mozilla folder in programfiles and mozilla folder in application data folder, Vista delete Mozilla folder in programfiles and type appdata in search and delete Mozilla folder. Now do a fresh install.

If you don't delete the mozilla folders and do a new install all kinds of weird stuff can happen.

I think perhaps the problem might be during shutdown, I've had this problem before.

I figured that it was me manually shutting down/ resetting my computer while it was in the logout phase. I think it saves user files during that period or something, and shutting it down manually in the middle of it might have resulted in some lost data.
