The system is fc6 with firefox 1.5 +. I use yum to perform upgrades. Starting the day before yeserday firefox automatically created a new profile. It lost many settings including all bookmarks.

Is this a known problem?
How can it be prevented?

Thanks - Dan

Cant say ive ever heard of anything like this happening. is your old profile still there?
If not you can get it back by digging out an old backup of your home directory (if you have one) and restoring your .mozilla folder
