After the FF 58.0.2 update to my 64-bit Win 10 my bookmarks don't show on the sidebar.
When I display my bookmarks in the sidebar only 3 bookmarks that weren't in folders are displayed. All the other bookmarks that were organized in folders appear to be gone. I followed the restore procedure but nothing changed. I have rebooted my system, restarted FF, done all the basics. Through experimenting I did discover that if I type a single character (any character) in the Search box on the Bookmark sidebar I can see all my bookmarks but they are no longer organized in folders. Help! I need my organized life back.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
