Why do my bookmarks in the toolbar change places

After the update to FF 7.0 the bookmarks in my toolbar changed places. I put them back to the order that I'm used to and want to have them in, but all of a sudden they changed places again. I tried to get them in my order again, but again they changed. And the next time too. What I am most fascinated about is that they get the same places ever time they change, but I can't see any logic in 'your' order of the bookmarks. Why do they change places? I want my bookmarks in my order again.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history to makes Firefox restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.
