Hey sali,
I tried reproducing this with the latest versions of Firefox Nightly 97.0a1 (2021-12-26), beta 96.0b9 and release 95.0.2 but it works for me the bookmarks are shown. Could you add a video of the issue please?

Can you test the issue while in Safe Mode? You can find helpful info here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode .
Also a fresh new profile could help. You can find more about creating a new profile here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile .
If possible, you can test this issue on the nightly build as well. Download the build from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/all/ .
