Since upgraded to FireFox 5 my windows 7 machine no longer lets me view bookmarks in the side bar or under the all Bookmarks Tab. The only item that shows up is the Bookmarks Toolbar folder, but no bookmarks are displayed. When I use the top tool bar the bookmarks are visible and I can use them. Any suggestions. Can export the bookmarks either.

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