Hello all from new user! Lost all bookmarks. Add new ones but will not remain in folder. Nothing in Library/Safari Folder. Happened today after downloading Security, Quicktime, iTunes & other updates. OSX 10.3.9. Also installed Skype several days ago but don't think that could be the problem.

You might want to try running a "repair permissions". this is a task that basically checks your files and folders to make sure the permissions are set correctly. If for some reason the permissions are wrong and you don't have write access to the folder that handles Safari's bookmarks, then Safari won't be able to save the changes you make.
To repair permissions open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/). Select your Mac OS X startup volume in the column on the left of the Disk Utility window, then click the First Aid tab. Click the Repair Disk Permissions button.

Thanks for reply Symphonix. Did permissions repairs and there were several but did not cure my problem. I can add bookmarks to Bar or new folder but when restart Safari the folders and bookmarks are gone. The folder "Safari" in Users/me/library/ has nothing (0 kbits) even when there are bookmarks. For some reason "bookmarks.plist" is blocked out. I am a single user with very simple installation. The only non Mac I have installed is Skype, which is working fine. Thanks again for your reply
