From the Skyfire forum:

Everything you mentioned is server side related. All your data/preferences/history/bookmarks etc are stored on the server. The beta version released today is a conversion from the alpha program and they are having issues changing peoples accounts to work correctly as posted. On top of that slowdown issues etc are likely being caused by a massive influx of traffic from them opening the beta up to the public. I would just ask you to be patient for the timebeing while they get the infrastructure more stable. This is a beta, and they are definetly stress testing the product. Before opening the beta many improvements and expansion work was done to the servers, and I'm sure there are few kinks here and there.

The skyfire team works very hard and long hours to make their product shine, I know they'll have these issues resolved shortly. Thank you for your patience.
