installing current 3.5 version (RC1 will be out soon) will probably fix your problem.

Before doing any experiment i suggest you to backup yor profile:
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information

Your left pane in the Library is probably corrupt, you could try to restore a bookmarks backup in Library Window / Import & Backup / Restore.

Alternatively you could close the browser, delete places.sqlite from your profile folder, and restart the browser. BEWARE: this way you will lose your history, but bookmarks will be restored.

as last request, if you will, compress your places.sqlite file and send it to me by mail so i can analyze it. don't attach it here, for privacy reasons.
