I've had this happen a couple of times and never figured out why. I restored the file from a backup and that fixed it.

It's common in the nightly builds but it's possible that the official builds are prone to that as well :/

I guess what Macola is talking about is a whole back-up of his/her Mac OS X, once you do it, you can easily get the file related to Camino bookmarks from (your user) Home --> Library --> Application Support --> Camino --> bookmarks.plist

If you have a backup of such file (or maybe there is another account user who has the same bookmarks (unlikely I know), just place it there.

Yes, that's what I did--I have daily backups and just copied the bookmarks file over.
