Show All Bookmarks empty but bookmarks still in menu

I recently updated to Firefox 7.0.1. After the recent problems with Sync, I noticed that when I choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmarks menu item, the page is blank, even though I can see all my bookmarks in the menu itself.

Also, when I try to add a new bookmark (cmd-D), the box that opens up is also empty.

Any ideas?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Thanks. That worked.

I closed Firefox, deleted places.sqlite from my profile folder, reopened the program and saw all was right in the world. I did lose my browsing history, but that's OK.
